Since Wisley is ten minutes down the road and it was a nice afternoon to walk the dog.....
Access easy off A3 via Elm Lane. Park nr gate.
The old factory area has been flattened, but all of the concrete has been left, including some buried hangar door bottom rails. There are some sort of channels covered by concrete access covers about two feet wide for, I assume, services of some sort?
What stunned me was the slope of the taxiways upto the runway -must have taken some extra power to get up, and heavy on the brakes coming down.
The top pic above I can positively identify as at the 28 threshold. The other is quite distinctive from the joins in the concrete, that are still quite visible.
The centre line markings, instrument landing markings, 10 numbers, piano keys and yellow taxi lines are still visible on the runway. And WHAT I runway!! Still plenty of room to land a light plane at the west end.....
Still, nice place to let DOG.400 run around -but what a waste of good tarmac!!
