Aerial view 2018
Note: This picture was obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just S of the B9113, just N of Loch Fithie, about 2nm ENE of Forfar town centre
Period of operation: 2016 (?) to -
Runway: 09/27 500 grass
NOTES: The initial information came from the AAIB report EW/G2016/06/15, although the actual accident site was many miles away in Aberdeenshire. Further enquiries on the web revealed that Virgin Balloons list this as an alternative launching site - which they call FORFAR AIRFIELD.

Is this a private airfield - it is the first time i knew there was a landing area there.
