The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.




 

Location:  Just E or N of the A47, roughly 2nm WNW of Swaffam town centre

Period of operation:  Unknown?  Presumably from the early 2000s (?) to -


Runways:  2006 =  07/25   800   grass              2018=   06/24   750   grass

Note:  As can be seen in the pictures above, the runway in 2006 was north of the later runway.


NOTES:  If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated. Pictures are always most welcome.
