GRITTLETON: Private helipad
Operated by: Dr M Moore
Location: In/near Grittleton village, roughly 3nm W of RAF HULLAVINGTON
Period of operation: ?
Landing area: Grass 185x185
NOTES: Selected pretty much at random, this private helipad is included in this 'Guide' simply to illustrate the fact that a large number of private helipads exist throughout the UK, although the majority will be in England.
It should also be borne in mind that having a helipad does not automatically infer that a helicopter is based at the site. In fact, in many if not most instances the helicopter will be based somewhere with maintenance facilities and fuel. Equally, having a helipad does not infer that the helipad owner is a helicopter owner and/or pilot.
Indeed, many wealthy people have a helipad so that a commercially hired helicopter can transport them with maximum convenienience and speed, for a variety of reasons either for business or recreational purposes.
I wonder if anybody can kindly offer advice regarding roughly how many strictly private helipads, (or landing areas), there actually are in the UK?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
