Preston Farm
PRESTON FARM: Private airstrip
Note: These four pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: W of the A286, E of the B2141, about 3nm NNW of GOODWARD aerodrome, roughly 4nm N to NNW of Chichester town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Looking at Google Earth there is no evidence of this airstrip in 2005, nor in 2019.
Runway: 09/27 540 grass
NOTES: Yet another fine example of so many private grass airstrips cropping up from time to time and only operating for a few years. Although many remain operational for decades of course, the U.K. has a tradition of having private airstrips going back to the start of powered aviation, well before WW1. And indeed, compared to anywhere else in the world, measured in square miles, far more.
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
