Atheys Moor
ATHEY'S MOOR: Microlight airfield (Aka LONGFRAMLINGTON)
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Mr Ed McCallum
Location: NE of Longframlington, roughly 3nm E of Rothbury and approximately 7nm SSW of Alnwick
Period of operation: Since 2001
Note: Looking at a Google Earth image dated 2002 there was no sign of a prepared/marked out runway
ANOTHER CHANGE SPOTTED
Note: Also from Google Earth © this picture shows the latest 14/32 runway. I noticed this when double-checking the mention of this runway in the report AAIB-26952, as I couldn't recall a runway orientated like this.
Runway(s): Up till 2016 (?) 03/21 490 grass
From 2016 (?) 03/21 505 grass 08/26 630 grass
From 2019/20: A third runway was added = 14/32 520 grass
NOTES: The initial info regarding the exitence of this site was the AAIB report EW/G2016/07/30, but I was delighted to discover that the airfield has its own web-site.
