Peniarth
PENIARTH: Private airstrip (also known as TOWYN or TYWYN)
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: 1970s - Col. J F Williams-Glynn?
Location: Just E of Peniarth village, about 3.5nm NE to NNE of Tywyn, 6nm S of Barmouth
Period of operation: Not known? 1970s initially it appears. Later from the early 2000s?
NOTES: It appears that in the mid 1970s just one aircraft was based here; the Morane Saulnier M.S. 893 Rallye Commodore 180 G-AXOT.
I had this location listed for many years as just being operational in the 1970s, and not having much of an idea where it was. In November 2020, Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', came to the rescue, both with the location and clear evidence the site has been used in recent years - and indeed - might well still being used?
As always in this 'Guide', 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!
