PART ONE.
Hello all, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all recent members since my
last welcome message.
I have been able to do some checking in recent weeks and have updated several of
the county files with new strips and some ammendments.
At the recent Devon Strut regional fly-in I chatted to a gent I've been looking
to meet for a few years and to my surprise he told me that the ''Pepperbox''
strip near Salisbury was only a ruse to keep spotters away- it was/is actually
the strip at Coombe Bissett in Wiltshire and is in my file; said location being
several miles away from the one given in the Air-Britain and LAAS UK registers!!
There was, however, a short-lived micro strip on a farm near Pepperbox Hill just
north of Whiteparish a few years ago but this did not last long.
The same day I got info about a recent strip with two runways called 'Tracy
Island' just to the north of a hamlet called Street to the east of Chard in
Somerset; I had been personally presuming this was the strip at Two Ash Farm but
I'm most happy it is not!
There is a small micro strip which appears to be on land connected to the main
strip at Sedgewick Park near Nuthurst in Sussex, and north-east of Southwater in
the same county appears to be a small strip very near Kings Farm only a few
hundred yards north of Jackrells Farm.
Others recently identified will follow in part two of this message.
Best wishes to all. Richey.
