Hi all, I was wondering if anybody knows anything about cheddington airfield? (Aka long marston or marsworth to some?) As I can see it marked as an active strip of some sort on my chart and some friends and family live very close by. I know that it is primarily a business park now since decommissioning, but is it still flyable? All I can find on the internet is about when the yanks had it, and google shows a couple of fryingpans, buildings and taxiways, no runway:( although the field behind looks plausible? Any info greatly received,

Cheers,
Oli

I last flew into Long Marston in 1991 but a quick Google of "Long Marston Microlights" answers most of your questions - here are the first three results:

Long Marston Airfield (http://ukga.com/airfield/long-marston)

Freedom Sports Flying School (http://www.skyhighpilots.co.uk)

Flying School - Fly with the World Champion (http://www.midlandmicrolights.co.uk)

Cheers for that Weekend Flyer, I'll have to investigate. I know it will probably have changed no end since then, but what was it like down there?

Cheers,
Oli

oli,

This has come up a couple of times in the past try the search function, there are several hits, but these two are probably the most relevant (but won't necessarily tell you anything new).

Cheddington 1 (http://www.pprune.org/private-flying/105812-cheddington.html)

cheddingdon 2 (http://www.pprune.org/private-flying/289900-cheddington-halton.html)

I'sm assuming you're asking about the one near Tring/Halton
