Ashtree Farm
ASHTREE FARM: Private airstrip (Aka MOULTON St MARY)
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area and area views are from my Google Earth © derived database. The line drawn on the 2018 picture is purely a guess as to where the airstrip may have been situated.
Operated by: Mr Mark F Newman
Location: Just S of Ash Tree Road, just E of Kittles Road. About 2nm S of Acle on the A47, roughly 7nm W of Great Yarmouth town centre and 10.5nm E of Norwich city centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Perhaps April 1990 to August 1992?
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location. It appears that Mr Newman had a strip here for use by his de Havilland Canada DHC.1 Chipmunk T.10 Mk.22 G-AKDN. This was registered to him from April 1990 until August 1992 - but, was it based here? Possibly not as a Chipmunk needs to be hangared and with just two years operation (?) it seems unlikely a hangar was provided?
As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be welcome. Pictures are always much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
