Nynehead
NYNEHEAD: Private airstrip
Note: All three of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just NW of Nynehead village, about 1.5nm NW of Wellington
Period of operation: Hard to say - no sign in 2001. Definitely established from 2006 to 2010. Still evident in diminished form in 2018?
Runway: 2006: 09/27 820 grass
(2018: If still used - 09/27 715 grass)
NOTES: I came across this airstrip whilst searching for somewhere else, and quite frankly do not know what name it should be known by? But, I have found a reference to NYNEHEAD, and so I'll use this.
It is quite unusual to find a well laid out strip of 820 metres with no apparent facilities, such as a hangar. This said the 2006 picture does show a large mown area at the S/E corner giving access to the farm/trading estate. This is not evident in the 2010 picture.
All in all a bit of a mystery? If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
