Old Quarry Farm
OLD QUARRY FARM: Private airstrip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Mr Michael A Baldwin
Location: Just S of the A257, roughly 2nm E of Canterbury city centre
Period of operation: Unknown?
Runway: Hard to determine. Looking at the pictures above it would appear that a possible run of around 720 metres is possible? Orientated, more or less 03/21.
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location.
It appears that the Tecnam P2006T, G-XVAX, has been based here since 2017.
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome. Pictures of course are much appreciated.
EXTRA NOTE: Regarding the 'Comment' below, I think that perhaps the last place the criminal fraternity would bother to look at is this 'Guide', which is basically historical. Also, much more information is available elsewhere. Would like to add that this 'Guide' is a celebration of our rich and varied aviation heritage, quite unique, and does not offer any contact details. As a pilot who has done quite a lot of farm strip flying, (my favourite type of flying), am very keen to promote any interest. So, may I be forgiven?
M Baldwin
