Harpsden Park
HARPSDEN PARK: Private airfield
Harpsden Park in the late 1990s
Picture by the author.
Operated by: Mr Ray Spiers
Location: Roughly 1nm SSE of Henley-on-Thames town centre
Period of operation: 1990s at least, to -
Runway(s): (2009) 01/19 640 grass
Note: Looking at my picture it appears there was another runway, 03/21 400 grass.
However, a look at a more recent image on Google Earth does not appear to show a clearly defined runway, unlike the 01/19 runway which is very clearly visible.
NOTES: It was Darren Pitcher who, in October 2016, very kindly identified this site. Darren is very knowledgeable about aviation history in this area and has written an excellent book regarding the history of WYCOMBE AIR PARK.
