Haxey
HAXEY: Private airstrip (Aka EAST LOUND)
Note: All of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: 2001: Mr J D Bingham
Location: E of A161, just N of East Lound, 12.5nm ESE of Doncaster
Period of operation: 1970s (?) to -
Runways: 2003: 01/19 500x30 grass 09/27 230x25 grass
2012: 01/19 500 grass
NOTES: In a flight guide published in 2001 it warns that runway 09/27 is not available for take-offs & landings! Presumably for use by a local micro-light pilot perhaps? Or more probably for helicopter training - which does take place. By 2008 evidence of this runway seems to disappear.
In the mid 1970s it seems the Beech H.35 Bonanza G-ASJL and Fournier RF.4D G-AVWY were based here.
WHICH COUNTY?
I had initially listed this site as being in YORKSHIRE. However, taking a bit more time over making the listing and consulting both modern and traditional maps, I now believe it is in LINCOLNSHIRE, in the part now known as NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
