The most frequent final approach to Spitalgate was made over the dead straight N - S Roman road
Actually, rubberband, I don't remember it that way. I do have to say that my memory is fallible in the extreme. But I have a distinct feeling that the grass runway, marked with black and yellow markerboards by day and, as you say, goosenecks by night, was roughly parallel to that road. That made it pretty similar to the Barkston runway - perhaps 04/22? (the road isn't quite N-S)
