NOTES: The initial info regarding this strip came from a friend who noticed a news item regarding a Thruster G-CDSO which had crashed during landing. The aircraft was it seems based at a strip near/alongside Willingham Lane, which is now identified as this site.
It also appears that Mr Craddock was/is flying the Dragon 150 G-MJVY from this site.
If you 'Google' this site you can see a video of somebody flying in.
