Newenden
NEWENDEN: Private airstrip later microlight strip(s)
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Witherenden Microlight Club
Location: E of the A28, just N of Newenden
Period of operation: ? to 1976 then reopened in 2003/4. Apparently closed before 2018
Runway(s): Initially 182 grass (?)
2004: 10/28 335 grass
2007: 09/27 310 grass 10/28 340 grass
2013: 09/27 460 grass 10/28 460 grass
NOTES: The intention in early 2004 is to reopen this site for micro-light flying initially but to extend the site gradually and possibly for GA traffic too. The site was once a private airstrip which closed in 1976.
The layout, when the second runway was added, is quite unusual. See pictures.
If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated. Some pictures will be most welcome too.
