Location: W of Hembridge, about 5nm SSW of Shepton Mallet, 6nm E of Glastonbury, 8nm NNE of YEOVILTON
Period of operation: 1980s to present day?
Runway: 05/23 500x40 grass
Note: A look at Google Earth in 2017 indicates the runway is now orientated 06/24
NOTES: One flight guide warns that at silage times the strip can narrow to 3.5 metres!
It would seem that in the fourth picture, the modified Jodel D.112 G-AWVZ, owned by Mr David Stokes and featured in Light Aviation magazine, could well be the Jodel seen here?
