Area view
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just SSE to E of Lydlinch village on the A357, about 2.5nm W of Sturminster Newton, 4nm S of HENSTRIDGE aerodrome and roughly 7nm ESE of Sherborne town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Perhaps c.2014/15 to around 2022?
Runway: 18/36 290 grass
NOTES: It appears that this strip has been used by the owner of the de Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth G-ANRN, (ex T5368), who lives nearby. I assume it is based elsewhere as there is no obvious sign of a hangar.
We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location.
Aerial detail
Having made the comment, (above), that there is no obvious sign of a hangar, I was very kindly contacted by Mr Mark Taylor, who pointed out that there is a hangar, hidden from view from above, underneath this tree.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
