Lakeside Country Club
LAKESIDE COUNTRY CLUB: Private helipad
These three pictures are from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: On the S side of Wharfenden Lake, just E to SE of Frimley Green and roughly 2.75nm NE of the centre of FARNBOROUGH airport
Period of operation: Unknown (?) but almost certainly in the 1970s
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. Which has, over the intervening years been redeveloped beyond recognition.
He tells us that the Enstrom F-28-UK, G-BACH, was once based here. There is an element of guesswork involved, but after a delve around the records, it seems to me that this was during the ownership of G-BACH by Spear and King Ltd of Camberley. If correct they had it registered from 06.11.72 until 20.05.77. I also expect that servicing and maintainence was probably carried out by Spooner Aviation at FAIROAKS, fairly close by, as they were the UK agents for Enstrom helicopters.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
