Operated by: Tranby Croft Flying Club
Location: N of the A1105, about 4nm W to WSW of Hull city centre
Period of operation: Not known? Roughly late 1980s to early 1990s?
Runway: Initially perhaps - 09/27 660 grass (Later intended to be extended - possibly up to 960 metres?)
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location. It appears that the Tranby Croft Flying Club comprised five aircraft. Quite why anybody would consider a strip/airfield in this location a viable concern, seems to beggar belief, and needless to say local opposition soon put paid to this enterprise.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
