Also known as Theale in earlier Pooley guides. GOARB owned by Peter Ford was writtten off at this airfield one night about 4 years ago and 2 other aircraft were damaged; it is thought that some 'hare coursers' who had been ejected earier in the day returned after dark to wreak their revenge. If you zoom into the photo, you will see the strip just east of the marker with a small building at the north east end and an aircraft on the runway. A turbprop Cessna 210 lives here during summer and moves to Fairaoks when the surface gets soggy in winter.
 

We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
