The first five pictures were obtained from Google Earth©, the local area view is from my Google Earth© derived database.



 

Location: Just E of the A38, S of Norton village and roughly 3.25nm N to NNE of Gloucester city centre

Period of operation:  Unknown?  Certainly from 1999 to -


Runway:   10/28   315   grass    (In recent years moved slightly south)


NOTES:  We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. He tells us that the Wag-Aero Sport Trainer, G-BZHU (ex ZK-MPH), with the popular name of 'Cuby', has been noted taking-off at this location. Perhaps based here? As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome. And of course, pictures are always much appreciated.
