Wickwar
WICKWAR: Private airfield (Aka WEST END)
Note: All six of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just SW of West End, roughly 0.5nm W of Wickwar village on the B4060, 4nm N of Yate town centre and 12nm NE of Bristol city centre
Period of operation: 1990s (?) to -
Runways: 1999 - 09/27 370 grass 02/22 230 grass 14/32 140 grass
From 2005 - 09/27 370 grass 11/29 270 grass 14/32 140 grass
NOTES: I only discovered this site in December 2020, but it appears to have been in operation since the 1990s at least. And what a great layout it so sensibly has, with three runways to cater for landing into wind in most weathers. Presumably experience taught the lesson for changing the layout of the runways early in the 21st century.
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer more advice, this will be most welcome,
