Etsome Hill
ETSOME HILL: Private airstrip
Note: The first three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just N of Somerton village, 3nm S of Street town centre and 6nm NW of RNAS YEOVILTON
Period of operation: Not known exactly. No sign in 2010 and appearing to have reverted to agriculture c.2021?
Runway: 12/30 270 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. Although seeming to be fairly short-lived, a bespoke hangar for one aircraft is clearly visible in the pictures above. If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
It appears the X'Air 133(1) G-CCGR was based here from July 2013 until November 2017. Then de-registered.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
