The Hutts Farm
THE HUTTS FARM: Private airstrip
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area and area view are from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: Mr J M Chapman
Location: Just NNE of Ellaston village on the B5032, about 4nm WSW of Ashbourne town centre
Period of operation: Presumably (?) 2017 to 2021
Runway: It appears that take-offs and landings were probably conducted in a very roughly north to south direction?
The 2021 picture appears to show a strip: 01/19 300 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location.
The Groppo Trail G-ROPO was registered to Mr Chapman at this address from 12.12.2017 to 07.07.2020. So, it seems reasonable to suppose it was based here during that period?
It has been very much part of producing this 'Guide' to list and celebrate the fabulous history we have in the U.K. regarding private airstrips and airfields. No other country in the world has anything equal compared to area and population.
As always, advice and information is most welcome, and pictures much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
