PLAS-YN-GROVE: Private airstrip and airfield (Aka DUDLESTON)
Note: In this 'Guide', by way of definition, an airstrip is just that - singular. Private locations such as this example, with two or more runways, are referred to as airfields. Somewhat unusually as in this case, over a period of time, both definitions apply.
Note: The first five pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: 1.75nm NW of Ellesmere town centre on the A495, about 7.5nm NE of Oswestry town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Perhaps 1990s(?) to -
Runway(s): Up to around 2006 - 2009(?): 16/34 390 grass
From 2010: 16/34 510 grass 02/20 330 grass
Note: It appears that runway 16/34 may have been extended, for a while, to 560 metres?
NOTES: As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome. Pictures are always appreciated.
In October 2023 Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', informed me that the Aviat A-1B Husky, G-HSKI, has been based here from July 2006.
