Goongillings
GOONGILLINGS: Private airstrip
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: Capt. Dick Pugh
Location: Just SSE of Constantine village, roughly 4nm ENE of the centre of RNAS CULDROSE airfield
Period of operation: Unknown?
Runway: Rough guesstimate = E/W perhaps up to 450m? grass
NOTES: In August 2023 I was kindly contacted by Mr Terry Clark, a good friend of this 'Guide'. He had found evidence of this airstrip existing, being used by Capt. Dick Pugh during his retirement, and that the hangar still exists. Between the two of us we are fairly sure that the location has been found? What we noted was the gaps in the hedges, which, as a general rule is often a good indication of a pre-existing runway on a farm.
As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
