Barling Magna
BARLING MAGNA: Private airstrip
Note: The first picture was obtained from Google Earth ©. The other two from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: It appears, Mr John Pavelin
Location: Just W of Barling Magna village, about 3.5nm E of SOUTHEND airport
Period of operation: 1990s (?) to -
Runway: 07/25 210 grass
NOTES: I have Mr Trevor Sexton to thank for pointing out this airstrip. We really do have the most astonishing heritage of private airstrips in the UK - there is nothing comparable anywhere else in the world considering the comparatively small area.
It appears, that in recent years, (in 2022), this was the base for the Quad City Challenger II G-MZHO and G-CBBM, a Savannah VG Jabiru (1). G-MZHO being built by Mr John Pavelin, who also owns G-CBBM. Info correct I believe as of May 2022.
