Location: Just W of Great Dalby village and roughly SSW to SW of Melton Mowbray town centre
Period of operation: Unknown?
Runway: Possibly/probably (?) 13/31 555 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', for telling us about an airstrip in this locality.
It appears that Viscount Marmaduke Furness had the Lockheed 12A, G-AEOI, based here from 02/03/37 to 15/12/39.
The Google Earth pictures above simply reflect my idea of where this was located. If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
