And finally the fourth view

Note: As we approached this airfield, from the north, I spotted the runway and thought this was as long as it got, so took this picture. It looked somewhat minimal in length, especially given the trees abutting the SW edge, but heh!; it was of course used by microlights. As we circled I realised it was actually twice as long, the northern half being somewhat obscured by the trees and their long autumnal evening shadows.

Location: Just E of the A29, just NE of Adversane village, and roughly 1nm S of Billingshurst

Period of operation: Possibly late 1990s / early2000s to -

Runway(s): 2001: 05/23 230 grass

2005: 05/23 655 grass 10/28 315 grass

2015: 05/23 655 grass

NOTES: The 2005 picture appears to show clear evidence of a 10/28 runway. But perhaps only used for a short period. Any advice and information, (and indeed pictures), will be most welcome.

Been trying to find this airfield for some time, close to the wartime Coolham airfield, and would like to contact some microlight pilots there.
