Hi all
I have set up a website for the lifting industry, http://www.liftingworld.net, and we have all the notifiable airports in the UK listed at the moment. For the next phase of the site I want to add all the aerodromes, farm airstrips, glider fields, parachute clubs, helipads etc. but I am struggling to find up-to-date info on all the active, or potentially active fields in the UK. Even though these fields are not notifiable when lifting near them it would be good practice to warn a farmer if you were sticking a boom 60m in the air at the end of their strip!
At the moment I am trawling through drone websites/apps as they seem to list everything, but it is a time consuming process and I don't want to miss any!
Can anyone tell me where to find a comprehensive list of all active/usable strips/pads/bases etc.?
Also any feedback on the site, from a pilot's perspective, is welcome.
Cheers, Seamus
