Pear Tree Farm
PEAR TREE FARM: Private airstrip, once airfield (Aka WENTBRIDGE)
Note: These six pictures were all obtained from Google Earth ©
Note: The last picture is from my Google Earth derived database
Location: Just W of the A1(M), just SSE of Wentbridge village, about 4nm SE to SSE of Pontefract town centre
Period of operation: Not known exactly. No sign of it in 2002. Presumably still operational in 2022 at least?
Runway: Main runway - 16/34 390 grass
However, looking at the pictures above, it seems that when originally laid out, this airfield has two runways just E of the main runway.
These being: 09/27 260 grass and 08/26 230 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location. He also mentions that it appears that the TL2000UK Sting Carbon G-CGPO was based here. Perhaps from February 2010 to October 2018?
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information this will be most welcome. Pictures of course are always much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
