Runway: 06/24  558   grass    
Note: On Google Earth there is a clear sign that this runway either was, or is intended to be, 765 metres long.

 

NOTES: It is well worth reading the AAIB report EW/G2005/08/12 as it seems the Mooney M20J registered N201YK was based here. The report states it force landed on a field nearby intended to be a future airstrip.

In early 2013 seven aircraft were based here including a Beagle Bulldog XX690 which I moved to a site near DUXFORD.
