There looks like a nice pub just up the road from it and we would like to visit...
Cheers

That airstrip is called 'Reed' and the pub is 'The Cabinet' I grew up around there (my parents still live less than 2 miles from that strip) and used to fly a neighbour's C182 from Nuthampstead when I were a lad

I have asked my father who owns/operates the strip and he isn't sure, he does know that they have had a Dragon Rapide into there though!

I will do a bit more digging as I would like to fly the Rallye into there as it would be handy for going to see the parentals, if you find anything out please let me know!!
