Glenormiston
GLENORMISTON: Private airstrip (Also known as INNERLEITHEN)
Note: The first and third pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The map was provided by Mr Graham Frost.
Operated by: 2000: Mr J G Hogg
2001: Mr G Askew
Location: N of river Tweed, W of the A72, Inm W of Innerleithen, about 4.5 to 5nm ESE of Peebles town centre
Period of operation: 2000 & 2001, also circa 2014 certainly
Runway: 2000: 13/31 515x15 grass
2001: 13/31 (I found a note that it should have been extended during this year to 690x15 grass)
2014: Roughly 13/31 to 14/32 490 grass (Somewhat bent northwards around its mid-point)
NOTES: This is very interesting. Up to March 2021 I had no pictures at all. Then Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' came to the rescue.
Although I could only find two images on Google Earth, (2007 & 2014), the 2007 image shows no trace of an airstrip. So, presumably, it ceased to be used around this period? There was no sign of a hangar in the 2007 picture. But of course, was the 2000/2001 airstrip in the exact same location?
As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
