Scurf Dyke Farm
SCURF DYKE FARM: Private airstrip
Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Mr Russell Thompson
Location: About 1.5nm SE of Hutton Cranswick village, 4.5nm SSE of Driffield town centre
Period of operation: Late 2018 to June 2020?
Landing area: Roughly E/W about 220m
NOTES: The initial information came from the report AAIB-26764.
A bit more delving appears to reveal that Mr Thompson acquired the Savannah VG, G-CGTV, in late October 2018 and based it here. However, on the 25th June 2020, when taking off it all went pear-shaped and, looking at a picture of the wreck in the AAIB Bulletin, it seems amazing that he emerged with just minor injuries.
Will this site continue to be used? If not it is certainly a contender for the title of the briefest used locations?
