Location: Just W of the Lawrence Kellet Playing Field. Just SW of Dowlish Wake village, about 1.25nm SE of Ilminster town centre
Period of operation: Mid 1990s
Runway: Assuming there was a strip, (unlikely?): About - 13/31 250 grass
NOTES: Ever since the earliest days in powered aviation pilots have been making visits to friends and relatives, into unprepared fields. They still do.
In this case, Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide'. just happened to be passing by in search of local airstrips, when he saw the Jodel D.112 Club, G-BHFF, (ex F-BEKJ), taking off. As he says, "Looked very tight".
