Operated by:  Lancaster & Morecombe Model Aircraft Club


Location:  Just S of Glasson, just NW of Lower Thurnham and about 4nm SSW of Lancaster city centre

Period of operation: (?)  1990s appears certain to -


NOTES:  We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing this location out. I do sometimes wonder if England, (rather than the U.K.), has a larger community of model flyers, per head of population, and indeed model flying sites, (as in per square mile), than any other country in the entire world? This would appear to be the case?  

It has always been the aim of this 'Guide', being primarily historical, to feature model flying sites. If for no other reason than to reflect the immense importance to aviation history that models have served. And of course, still do.

As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome. Plus of course, pictures are much appreciated.
