Pentlow
PENTLOW: Private airstrip
Note: These six pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: S of the A1092, just WSW of Pentlow village and about 5nm NW of Sudbury town centre
Period of operation: 1990s (?) to -
Runway: 2000 = 06/24 270 grass
2018 = 06/24 255 grass
Note: Is it possible, looking at the pictures above, that at one time a shortish runway, 08/26, with a maximum run of 225 metres was sometimes used? Or was it just a taxiway?
NOTES
I have a confession to make. For around a quarter of a century I often moved aircraft around in a truck. Whilst editing and sorting the pictures above I suddenly realised I had actually been here! Fortunately I kept a log of all the aircraft I moved and sure enough, in September 2002 I had collected the wings, cowling and other parts of the Pitts S11S, G-SIIS. What a really lovely place it was too.
I then drove to WAITS FARM to load the fuselage, and the next day delivered it all to STAVERTON.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
