To be accurate it's the 'new' Tingwall airport which replaced the old grass strip in, I think, the '80s.
I flew into the old strip in Sep 1972 courtesy of Loganair; a patch of stinging nettles marked the northern end of the strip and there was a substantial stone barn just off centreline at the southern end but I don't know exactly where it was! There was a dry stone wall next to the barn which extended across the centreline; a visiting Aztec tried to demolish this while landing during my 'tour of duty' at Sumburgh.
