Barnsdale
BARNSDALE: Military airstrip (Aka CROFTFOOT)
Location: Just W of the B723, between Barnsdale and Croftfoot, about 5nm NNE of Lockerbie town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Probably it appears from 1944 to 1950
Runway: Unknown? Looking at the illustrations above it seems likely it was a strip aligned 04/22. Although it wouldn't have been this long, it does allow an approach along a line around 600 metres long.
NOTES: We have Mr Ross Dowie to thank for pointing out this location. Used by Army AOP types to serve local gunnery ranges in the area after WW2. Mike Holder, a great friend of this 'Guide' has provided the maps and Google Street View picture.
If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
