Kidmore End
KIDMORE END: Private airstrip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just E of the A4074, and SW of Kidmore End village, about 4nm NNW of Reading town centre and roughly 5nm SW of Henley-on-Thames town centre:
Period of operation: Unknown? But operating to circa 2009
Runway: 08/26 315 grass
Note: It looks as if there were two more 'runways', 13/31 145 metres, and 16/34 180 metres, probably for use in high winds?
NOTES: It all seems so long ago now, but I seem to recall when flying around this area in the early 1990s seeing this airstrip and being told a Tiger Moth was based here. The 2005 detail above certainly confirms this.
As always in this 'Guide', if any can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
