Note:  All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
 


Location:  S of Castlerock, N of the A2 and W of Sea Road, E of Freehall Road

Period of operation: Early 2000s (?) to -


Runway: Reported as =  10/28   600x15   grass

Note:  According to Google Earth © imagery the runway from 2001 to around 2011 was:  11/29   520   grass


NOTES: A look at the site on Google Earth appears to show the runway as being 520 metres long. And, with no room to extend it.

However, is this just my imagination? The 2021 picture above has all the hallmarks of another airstrip, just north and parallel with the earlier runway, but 405 metres long.

If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
