Note: The first picture was obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area view is from my Google Earth © based database.
Operated by: Mr G A M Nisbett
Location: Just W of the A7, ESE of Ferniehill, E of Gilmerton, about 4nm SE of Edinburgh city centre
Period of operation: 1970s only?
Runway: Probably? 06/24 650 grass
NOTES: In the mid 1970s, from 16.06.75 to 01.09.77, it seems the Beech N35 Bonanza G-ARKJ was based here, registered to Mr G A M Nesbitt. As far as can be seen today, (2023), this was the only use of this location?
We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pinpointing this location.
