SHIPBOURNE FARM: Private airstrip
Aerial view 2001
Aerial detail 2001
Aerial view 2005
Aerial view 2013
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: 1.25nm SSW of Wisborough Green, 3nm SW of Billingshurst
Period of operation: 1990s (?) to circa 2014
Runway: 2005 = 06/24 350 grass
2013 = 06/24 530 grass
NOTES: Clearly something drastic appears to have happened here. As the fourth picture shows, by 2013 the runway had been extended and two extra hangars added. Then, by 2015 there was no sign of anything.
It appears the Fournier RF4D G-AWGN and the Bellanca 7ACA G-HAMP were based here. Recently (2024) repported as being hangared at DUNSFOLD.
If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
