Hinkle Grange
HINKLE GRANGE: Private airstrip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: 2nm NE of Scotch Corner on the A1(M), roughly 5nm SSW to SW of Darlington town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Perhaps c.2006 to c.2018?
Runway: 16/34 480 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location.
The primary purpose of this 'Guide' is to record as many flying sites as possible. Not often realised is that this country, the U.K., has an aviation heritage without equal anywhere else in the world - measured by most sensible parameters, such as per square mile.
Needless to say, many flying sites often pose a variety of questions. Not often important as such - but interesting to various people, such as this author, who have an eye to detail - when available.
In this case, the owner of the Reims Cessna F172P Skyhawk, G-BSPE, with Hinkle Grange as his address, owned this aircraft from 2002 to 2018. But, it appears, it was not based here. Indeed, only the 2012 picture above shows a clearly defined strip and taxyway. If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
