I remember DC3s and Bristol Freighters (Silver City); DH Dragon.
Pleasure flights in an a Piper Tripacer and Lockheed/Aermacchi LASA-60 back in the day (Air Navigation and Trading). Seem to remember their was a car park immediately adjacent to the boundary chain link fence and a gate on to the airfield.
More recently flown out of there quite a bit in the past few years.
Squire's Gate, along with Yeadon, are two of my boyhood aerodromes - however they never
quite made it as successful regional airports - due mainly to the development of Manchester and too a lesser extent Liverpool airports.
Always pass over and wave (and contact ATC) as I head North ...
