Perhaps even more likely is the emergency landing that at some stage had to fly away again because i never saw any sign of an aircraft there again. Thanks for the trouble.

I suppose if the RAF ever give up on the Chinooks Odiham could be come London Basingstoke Airport lol

Pax britanica,

There is an airstrip quite clearly visible on Google Earth between 1999 and 2017, in the field immediately to the west of The Waterwitch. The strip seems to have stopped being mown since 2017. Is this Valentine's Farm?
