SHEEPCOATES FARM: Private airstrip (Aka LITTLE TOTHAM)
Note: All three of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: About 0.5nm SW of Little Totham, about 0.5nm SE of Great Totham, about 4nm SE of Witham and roughly 2.5nm NNE of Maldon town centre
Period of operation: Certainly it seems from 1976 to 1984. But, oddly, is visible from around 2004 to 2006
Note: In June 2020 Mr Trevor Sexton kindly contacted me to say there was an airstrip here in the 1980s
Runway: 07/25 520 grass
NOTES: I have the excellent book ESSEX: A Hidden Aviation History by Paul Bingley and Richard E. Flagg to thank for finding this strip. If anybody can kindly offer more advice, this will be most welcome.
In October 2025 Mr Graham Frost, a long term friend of this 'Guide', contacted me to say that the Beagle B121 Pup 150, G-AWWE (ex G-35-032), was registered at this address from 05.03.76 until 04.07.84.
