West Calder
WEST CALDER: Private airfield, later airstrip (Aka BROOMHILL FARM)
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©, the area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just E of the B7008, about 1.5nm SE of West Calder, roughly 3.5nm S of Livingston town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Certainly from 2005 to -
Runways: This is of interest. It appears that the original runway was 09/27 420 grass.
As the 2005 picture above shows, a second runway had been laid out with much better approaches, especially towards the west. This being:
07/25 500 grass
At some point, not long after 2005, the original 09/27 runway was disused. This resulting in an unusually long taxy up to the 07/25 runway.
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
