Otterburn subsidiary airfield
OTTERBURN SUBSIDIARY AIRFIELD: Military airfield, (British Army)
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: About 2.5nm NW to NNW of Otterburn Camp
Period of operation: Unknown?
Runways: 11/29 380 hard 05/23 270 hard
NOTE: We have to thank Mr Karel Adams, a great friend of this 'Guide', for pointing out this location. Neither of us know what it should be called, or indeed anything about its history. I would guess it was first used by Army Auster AOP types? Perhaps more likely when the Army started operating the DHC.2 Beaver? Plus of course, from 1989 for a while, the Army also operated Britten-Norman Islanders.
So, presumably, this site reflects fixed wing operations?
Possibly or probably since used by Army helicopters engaged on large scale exercises?
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
