Kearsley Farm
KEARSLEY FARM: Private airstrip

Area view
Note: These three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Mr Ike Stow (Early 1990s at least)
Location: 2.5nm N of Matfen, 9nm NE of Hexham town centre, 10nm WNW of Newcastle airport
Period of operation: Possibly from 1980s to circa 2010?
Runway: E/W 550x18 grass
NOTES: I have a copy of a film made in the early 1990s about grass strip flying and it appears that the Piper PA-15 Vagabond G-BTOT and the Piper J-3 Cub G-BRIL were based here. Was the Piper J-3 Cub G-AJAO also based here? Or was it visiting from HUNDAY FARM perhaps?
If anybody can kindly offer advice on this subject, it will be most welcome.
