Runway: 1990/2001: 07/25   830x28   grass

 

NOTES: I have looked at several maps and really cannot see why in many flight guides this airfield is listed as being in HEREFORDSHIRE. It seems fairly obvious it is actually in GLOUCESTERSHIRE. However, is the problem here, as in many other places the bloody silly postal code address system?
