Any other ideas about it or have I got the location wrong
Never heard of that one.
Valentines farm is a small strip between the village and the bypass; I think it was a SIPA 903 operated there; it certainly wasn't long enough for a twin (apart from maybe an Islander).
We did have someone do an emergency landing in the parkland surrounding the hotel just north east of the vllage once; maybe you saw it being flown out.
