East Winch
EAST WINCH: Private airfield (Aka THREE WAYS?)
Note: These pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: 1990s to early 2000s: Scanrho Aviation
2020: Ms Georgina Burman
Maintenance: 2001: Scanrho Aviation
Location: N of A47, near East Winch village, 4nm ESE of Kings Lynn
Period of operation: 1986 to -
Runway: 1990/2000: 10/28 850x16 grass
Note: I now have no idea where this information came from, but a look at the pictures seems to suggest that the runway was never this long? Or was it?
A look at Google Earth in 2016 shows a picture dated 2007 which appears to show two runways fanning out from a common point at the western end.
These were 10/28 680 grass and 11/29 605 grass
However, I now suspect that 'runway' 11/29 was in fact used as a taxiway?
In 2020 the runway was: 10/28 650x25 grass
NOTES: Today the airfield has its own web-site: https://www.eastwinchairfield.co.uk
The airstrip was founded in 1986 by Colin and Peter Burham.
From 1990 to 2009 it seems crop spraying aircraft were operated from here by Scanrho.
