Prospect Farm
PROSPECT FARM: Private microlight airstrip?
Location: Just NNW of Wollaston. E of the A509, roughly 2nm SSE of Wellingborough town centre
Period of operation: 2000s only?
Runways: 01/19 225 grass 11/29 285 grass
NOTES: Info source, AAIB report EW/C2004/12/01. Judging from this report, and looking at Google Earth, it seems highly likely this airstrip was/is used mainly if not solely by microlight aircraft. The report concerns the total destruction on a first test flight of the rare and just fully restored Pterodactyl Ptraveller. The pilot survived but I’d recommend reading this astonishing report.
However, I now think that this aircraft probably departed from TOWER FARM airstrip and crashed at PROSPECT FARM? Can anybody kindly offer advice on this?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
