The strip is less than a mile from where I was at boarding school between 1975 and 1982 - despite a bunch of us spending quite a lot of spare time looking at passing aircraft, only once saw something using it, a Cessna twin, probably a 310. Not sure if it landed or not but it was very low, the gear was down and it disappeared behind the trees at the appropriate spot. I did wander along the adjacent bridleway once but couldn't see anything. There was another strip somewhere south of Witley station which housed a pair of very active Jodels.
