Skegness Airfield (Water Leisure Park)

[JamesBG]

Hi, Does anyone knowwhats going on with this airfield? I have it in pooleys as having 2 runways, 04/22 and 11/29 with 11/29 being to the west of 04/22, various items I have seen on the net suggest that the runway has moved and the sat photos on multimap seem to confirm this I then found another website which said it no longer exists?!

Thanks for your help

A friend of mine went in about 6 months ago, and described it as a but bumpy. PM me for his contact details.

Both my (2003) Pooleys and AFE guide show it as you describe. If you look at http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=53.174708~0.332179&style=a&lvl=16&scene=500689 you can see markings in the soil that appear to show that 04/22 was at some time longer.
My 1991 Pooleys shows a completly different Skegness airfield (Ingoldmells) which was 700m north in the fields to the north of the east/weat road

I went in last April, and as I recall it certainly had two runways then, pretty much as described. The whole place was in the middle of a vast caravan park, next (I think) to some kind of amusement park(waterpark sounds about right).

The runway surface (the longer one) was OK, but a little bumpy in places.

FF :ok:

Looks like its still operational then, probably visit next week,

thanks a lot for your posts :ok:

Hi. Flew in there last weekend (3rd June). Great weather and scenery. Very long grass runway. Cheap landing fee and a few minutes walk to the beach.

bose-x,

Is that the runway on the right or the correct runway?

Does the multimap aerial photo show the runways correctly?
