Like redeye I have flown over it a couple of times and have talked to people who've used it. It's 09/27, probably less than 450m (exact length not known), surface not brilliant, not regularly maintained, and it has a rutted track running across it towards its eastern end (the access road to the house by the beach which is immediately south of the strip). Curved approach from the south required if you're using 09.

Not for the faint-hearted or the spamcan-mounted. I'd say it's Super Cub/Maule territory.

Don't have a phone number to hand but if I remember correctly you want to speak to the factor of the Isle of Jura Estate (should be in the book)

NS

PS Redeye they're Paps not Bens, and I presume the "busy in spring" is with helicopters not REAL aeroplanes?
