The nearest telephone was the public telephone kiosk in Brook and the LG had no hangarage available. Fuel and transport, (the latter typically a taxi service), was available from Witley Motors Works, Crossways, Witley. The recommended hotels were the Pinehurst Hotel, (no longer trading it seems), and The White Hart Hotel which is, both in Witley.
The map and picture above simply shows the location of Witley Park today. As far as I can make out, the position of the airstrip is now covered in trees.
