Note:  Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. In May 2020 Mr Graham Frost kindly sent me a diagram showing where the runway was. It may not be totally precise of course, but a great help for this 'Guide'.




 

Operated by: Air Pegasus

Activities: Air taxi and executive charter


Location: NE of Wokingham

Period of operation: 1972 (?) to ?


NOTES: It appears that Air Pegasus didn't stay here very long, before moving to PRESTON CANDOVER in HAMPSHIRE, probably in 1973? If anybody can kindly provide more information about this site, this will be most welcome.

In September 2017 I was contacted by Will Jackson who told me he saw Piper PA-23 Aztecs here in the 1970s. This certainly 'fits the bill' for Air Pegasus.

I got to know Peter Cadbury in his days at Preston Candover. I'm sure he told me the Cruchfield Manor site he operated from a disused race course to the west of the road where the golf course now exists.
