Operated by: 1992: Mr R Fox

Location: N of Lower Upham, roughly 5nm ENE of EASTLEIGH (SOUTHAMPTON) AIRPORT

Period of operation: 1990s to -
Note: From 2019 it appears this airstrip has been in operation for over 30 years.

Runway: 1992: 03/21 640x18 grass

1997: 03/21 880x20 grass

Note: A look at this site on Google Earth in 2018 certainly appears to show a 840 metre runway. Presumably the northern 'third' is now no longer used.
