Arlingham
ARLINGHAM: Private airstrip
Note: These four pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
It is interesting to note that Severn Valley Sailplanes have had a facility very close by, since 1987, in Passage Road. But, do they operate this airstrip?
Note: This evocative picture has been scanned from a copy of Popular Flying magazine.
Location: Roughly 4nm NW of Frampton-on-Severn and about 8nm SW of Gloucester city centre
Period of operation: ?
Runway: 03/21 690 grass
NOTES: It must have been many years ago that I cut this picture out of a copy of Popular Flying magazine. For obvious reasons it had considerable appeal, but, I foolishly did not make a note of which issue it was published in.
A part of the text in the cutting I made states: "Held at Arlingham, a small strip of farmland alongside the River Severn, the event was a completely informal affair which attracted a number of aircraft."
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
