Lower North Wraxall
LOWER NORTH WRAXALL: Purpose to be determined
Location: Just E of Lower North Wraxall village, N of the A420, roughly 6nm W of Chippenham town centre
Period of operation: 2021 to -
Note: The first picture was obtained from Google Earth ©. The second and third from my Google Earth © derived database.
NOTES: In the course of compiling this 'Guide' there have been countless examples of finding records of flying sites which have proved to be, (to date in late 2022), impossible to locate exactly. So, we have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for finding a location which is the exact opposite!
Without any doubt at all, the first picture above shows a typical airfield layout, but in miniature - the 'runways' being around 50m long. The encroaching trees and high bushes making it doubtful that it is used for typical model flying? But, and this is purely my conjecture, could this be a site used for flying model autogyros? These having, I imagine, far superior performance compared to the full size aircraft.
As always, 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!
