An unlicensed aerodrome south of the M4/Swindon, Draycot Farm is a lovely 700m grass strip oriented North/South on the Wiltshire downs which I visited last week. PPR is NOT required, so you can come and go as you please (picnic tables outside the...

OK, i'll start the ball rolling with an aerial photo of the airport, never yet actually been there though.

Range very accomodating -- they did a cracking talk at the flying club Christmas Do a few years ago, and have taken group round the tower there to see how they operate. They are very keen to maintain good relations with GA.

If you are there in the...

Lovely grass airfield with x-runways of 600m & 800m on top of 1850ft hill in the Ardenne. Do not confuse with EBSU/St Hubert military installation a mile to the east with its huge 2km runway you fly over on downwind!! €11.15 landing fee,...
