Little Haugh Hall
LITTLE HAUGH HALL: Private airstrip later private airfield (Aka NORTON)
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: W of the A1088, just NW of Norton and about 6.5nm ENE of Bury St Edmunds town centre
Period of operation: Since the late 1990s(?) to -
Runways: This site is one of the most interesting I have come across. Unusual of not unique in its own way. The 2000 picture above clearly shows just a 03/21 runway of about 355 metres.
Then a serious airfield appears with two main runways:
11/29 765 grass 08/26 835 grass
But, with the original 03/21 runway still visible. (See the 2007 picture)
This said, the 2008 picture appears to show scant evidence of the 03/21 runway being in use.
However, the 2018 picture appears to show the 03/21 runway as being well defined. This said, was it now being used just as a taxiway?
NOTES: As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
