This is a great example of sites used for operations by types such as Piper Cubs and many more recent, basically STOL types, do not need an airstrip to be laid out. Any suitably flattish field will do. Needless to say, for anybody as foolish as I am, trying vainly to record flying sites in the UK, this is a rare opportunity to pin one down.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
