Brunton Airfield

No landings at all there now I'm afraid.

Destined to become a housing estate I was told.

I did a parachute jump there 25 years ago and I remember the aircraft having to go around as a learner driver insisted on practicing emergency stops on the runway. When the jump aircraft was waiting to take to the skies we were all treat to the spectacle of a chap on a motorbike doing a wheelie around the perimeter track and runway, as well as young lad driving a very fast kart rather sideways. Very entertaining!
