Final nail in the coffin of the Lyc engined Chippy, methinks!!!

You can't aerobat it!

Well, since the only point of flying a Chippy is to sample that great handling, fitting a Lyc turns it into a straight and level machine, only fit for towing gliders - and even that must be a bit marginal with modern heavy glass ships.

Thanks to those who gave details of the Membury strip - but there appear to be 2 - the old airfield which I think is N of M4, and a 'farm strip' S of M4? Anyone know?
