Grindale

PG
The old strip at Grindale is long gone. It's 0.63 NM northwest of the present East Leys Farm strip.
The old buildings are still visible on Google, but the runways have disappeared under the plough. It had 24/06 and 33/15 with traffic lights controlling the road crossing on the 33 approach.
Ginger Lacey instructed there. Hull Aero Club was based there for a time..
Grindale was my first land-away after I got my PPL. In it's day it was a magical place.
