Ardley
Note: This map only shows the position of Ardley village within the UK. If anybody can kindly give a more exact location for this airstrip, this advice will be much appreciated.
ARDLEY: Private airstrip
Location: In/near Ardley which today is just SW of junction 10 on the M.40
NOTES: A listing published in 1977, Residents at Aerodromes in Britain by P B Enterprises (Aero) states that six aircraft were based at this strip.
But so far (2005) this is the only mention I have found of its existence. These were: Taylorcraft Plus D G-AHXE, Piper J-3C-65 Cub G-AKAA, DH.82A Tiger Moths G-ANEZ, G-ANPK & G-AOET plus the AJEP Tailwind G-BDAP. Call me a sentimental old fool, I won’t deny it, but if I die and go to heaven, (unlikely?), I’m hoping there will be a strip like this where I’m welcome to fly from in such aircraft. No Cessna 172 mentioned, but you cannot have it all.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
