Oaklands Farm Oxon
OAKLANDS FARM: Private airstrip (also known as STONESFIELD)
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: 1992 to 2000: Mr Richard J Stobo
Period of operation: 1980s to –
Location: Roughly 9nm NW of Oxford city centre. I did find one report saying it was 5nm NW of Oxford. Measured on Google Earth it is 10nm NW of Oxford city centre.
Runway: 1992 to 2001: 12/30 400x12 grass
NOTES: I often wonder where various headings and distances have been taken from in various books and Pilot Flight Guides and this is a good example I suppose. In compiling this 'Guide' I have always measured distances and rough headings from a town or city centre because these don’t seem to move about much in my experience, whereas the limits of the suburbs do - often quite considerably given the over two hundred year time frame this project is concerned with.
