GLASTONBURY: Accident site
NOTES: Info from AAIB report EW/C2011/06/03. Bearing in mind that this Guide is intended to give examples of all flying sites in the UK, in the widest possible sense, an aerial photograph of the crash site in this report shows two helicopters, presumably air ambulance and police types or similar (?), in an adjacent field.
Which serves to prove my rather wild assertion that, “Nigh on every f*!~ing field, in England at least, seems to have an aviation connection!” It really does seem that way at times.
GLASTONBURY TOR: Private airstrip
NOTES: In the August 2013 edition of Light Aviation magazine Rupert Hibberb gave a lovely account of visiting a friends airstrip “overlooked by Glastonbury Tor” and gave a few hints regarding the nature of the strip such as, “…. a low grey hangar against the hedge, and an oak tree majestic in the centre of the field.” He also mentions the strip is adjacent to a pig farm. With so much information it should have been very easy to identify the strip on Google Earth, but, after spending at half an hour inspecting the area on Google Earth I could not identify anything matching the description.
Does anybody know the name and location of this airstrip?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
