Tomlow Farm
TOMLOW FARM: Private airstrip (?), later airfield
Note: These four pictures were all obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just S of the Grand Union canal, about 2.5nm NE of Southam and roughly 7nm WNW of Daventry town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Around 2017 certainly
Runways: 2017 = 11/29 430 grass 17/35 255 grass 06/24 255 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location.
The 2017 picture above shows a layout which is most unusual, but very sensible. The 2010 picture is just a guess on my part as to whether or not the strip was being used? There is no hangar but, there is a decent gap in the hedge. The 2021 picture shows the three runways still visible, but lacking the definition of the 2017 picture, which begs the question - was it, or is it, still operational?
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome. Pictures of course are always much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
