Operated by:  Cumbernauld Model Flying Club

Location:  Just SE of Cumbernauld town centre

Period of operation:  Unknown?  Certainly in the 21st century



NOTES:  We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. Clearly one of the biggest model flying sites in the UK, unfortunately the information on their website gives no history. It is very unusual in having a hard runway;   07/25   60 metres long. Another unusual feature is the 'strip' of around 175 metres to the west of the site visible in the 2005 and 2009 pictures. What might have been the purpose of this?

As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome. Pictures are always much appreciated.
