Hougham
HOUGHAM: Private airstrip & microlight strip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: 1980s to 2000: Hougham Flying Group and/or Mr Mike Barnatt-Mills
Location: 1nm NNW of Hougham, 6.5nm SE of Newark town centre
Period of operation: 1980s (?) to -
Runways: 1990: 18/36 402x20 grass
2000: 18/36 402x20 grass (light a/c & microlights)
09/27 120x20 grass (microlights only?)
NOTES: The warning that runway 09/27 is for use by microlights and pretty damned short even for some of these. In fact, is this actually the shortest ever UK runway to be regularly (?) used by powered aircraft?
Listed as being in NOTTINGHAMSHIRE in one airfield guide.
It must also be mentioned that perhaps unique in the U.K. there are mobile homes and similar constructions spaced out close to, and on the eastern side of the main 18/36 runway.
