Newton Ketton Farm
NEWTON KETTON FARM: Private airstrip (Aka KETTON)
Aerial view 2001
Area view
Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. Interesting to see that the hangar was still here in 2022. Presumably now used for storing farm equipment.
Operated by: Mr Donald W Wilkinson
Location: Just E to ESE of Newton Ketton, 2nm E of A1(M), roughly 4nm NE to NNE of Darlington town centre
Period of operation: 1970s to 1990s only?
Runway: 06/24 400x20 grass
NOTES: A nice touch in a 1990 Flight Guide says, “A low circuit over the farm to NW of strip will ensure a welcome”.
Any advice on this will be most welcome. In March 2022 Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', tells us that the Morane Saulnier Rallye 150ST, G-BEVA, was based here from May 1984 until February 1987.
