Walk Farm
WALK FARM: Private airstrip (Aka IRBY UPON HUMBER)
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area and area views are from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: Mr N Lockwood
Location: W of the A18, just ESE to SE of Irby upon Humber village, about 5.5nm SW of Grimsby town centre
Period of operation: Unknown?
Runway: ENE/WSW 430 grass
NOTES:
The Taylorcraft Auster 5 G-ALYG, ex MT968, (some say MS968), was registered here to Mr Neville Lockwood from 17.06.58 to 14.12.76. But of course, did he then replace with another aircraft?
We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. The position of the runway in the pictures above is very much my guess - based on the limited information available - but, certainly 'fitting the picture'.
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
