Gillow Farm
GILLOW FARM: Private airstrip
Aerial view 2015
Area view
Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Mr R W Gaskell?
Location: W of the A4137, S of the A49, just N of St Owens Cross, roughly 4.5nm WNW of Ross-on-Wye town centre
Period of operation: 1970s & 1980s?
Runway: Possibly 18/36 450 grass (?)
NOTES: In the mid 1970s it seems that only the Robin DR.400/160 G-BAMT was based here.
I could well be mistaken as the 2015 picture above does show a strip being ploughed. This said it is well known that during dry periods especially signs of a pre-existing strip can last for a very long time indeed. Apart from the fact that this is exactly where I would expect to find this strip, Mr Graham Frost has kindly confirmed that the strip was in this field.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
