Aerial view
Local area view
Area view
The aerial view was obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area and area views are from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just E of the A6, just SE of Thiefside, about 2nm N ot NNW of Plumpton village and roughly 10nm SSE of Carlisle town centre
Period of operation: 1950s only?
Landing runs: I suspect that in those days no prepared strips were laid out? More of a traditional 'all over' field?
If so the distances for landing would be, about: E/W 440 NW/SE 560 SW/NE 470
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location.
If anybody can kindly add more advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
