Tongham
Note: Some time ago I made this comment: "This map only gives a rough location within the UK. If anybody can kindly provide more advice, this will be much appreciated." In January 2018 I was kindly contacted by Terry Clark - see 'Comments' below. Originally listed as RUNFOLD the name of the strip and map have now been changed.

Look east from your markers and zoom in; you will see 'Tongham Ambulance Station and just north of this, the Hogs Back Brewery. The strip is visible just east of these two places. 'EX did used to live there but in recent years a Stearman and an Aviad Husky have operated out of here. Departure procedure is to call Farnborough LARS 125.250 as you taxy out because the strip is under the downwind leg for Farnborough runway 25.
