Thorne
THORNE: Private airstrip (Aka DAIRY FARM, and it appears, CAUSEWAY FARM)
Note: The first three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just NE of Thorne, 5nm SSW of Goole town centre and 11nm NE of Doncaster town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Perhaps from the 1980s (?) until around 2010? Then, with a new strip, from around 2022(?) to -
Runway(s): The original strip (?) was, until around 2010 = 17/35 700 grass
The new strip is: 08/26 800 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. It appears that the Piper PA-28-181 Cherokee Archer II, G-MALA, (ex G-TSAS), was based here from 02.07.84 until 16.04.93. It was also noted some time ago, and a fairly unusual event at a private airstrip I think, that the Belgian PA-28 OO-VFX paid a visit.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
