Hardwicke
HARDWICKE: Private airstrip
Note: Not to be confused with NEW HOUSE FARM airstrip just to the east.
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: 0.5nm SW of Hardwicke, about 2nm ENE of Hay-on-Wye
Period of operation: Not known? Certainly operating around 2006 to 2013
Runway: (2013) 06/24 490 grass
NOTES: The 2013 picture above is the only image I could find which shows a fairly well defined runway. Not that a defined runway is needed, or even desirable on a field suitable for use by most light aircraft. The absence of one does of course making a guess at operational dates very difficult if not impossible - just by looking at satellite images.
Indeed, even the existence of a hangar, as in this case, is no proof of a site being operational.
If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
