Stitchens Hill Farm
STITCHENS HILL FARM: Private airstrip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just NW of Coles Green, about 5.5nm WSW of Worcester city centre
Period of operation: c.2012 (?) to -
Runway: Initially it would seem - 07/25 425 grass
Note: At some point c.2019 it was moved slightly, with the western end being a tad further north, and, it seems, shortened to 390 metres.
NOTES: Although I found this airstrip whilst searching Google Earth for another, I had no idea what is was called. So, I posted a picture across to Mr Graham Frost who is a great friend of this 'Guide', and he came back with the answer in next to no time.
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome. Plus of course, pictures are always appreciated.
Over the years the attitude of private airstrip owners has changed considerably - probably now accepting that Google Earth has obliterated any chance of privacy. This said, I have regularly had airstrip operators contacting me to ask if their airstrip can be included in the 'Guide'. For me of course this really great, but, as I point out, this project is just a 'Guide'. No contact details are provided, and of course the old rules apply - this 'Guide' must never be used by pilots, or indeed spotters wishing to visit. They must always respect privacy, and make their own arrangements if a visit is desired.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
