North Devon Aerovan
Happened i was in the Barnstaple area last Sat (after a trip to E-Cott) and having flown past Chiv en route to the coast decided to check what was left where the original 'North Devon' airfield was situated.
The original railway line that ran alongside the northern boundary is now a cycle way and runs right alonside the 'still surviving' blister plus a couple of other hangars/sheds.These are now part of the Chivenor industrial park,and the original airfield is a housing estate,(where i had been winched up in a piston Whirlwind on a ATC camp).
It was good to see the buildings still in use (over 80 years old),and there is still aviation at Chiv with the ATC Grobs plus the SAR flight.
E-cott is a haven of flying as it should be,and very easy to find with the Burrington radar golf ball in the circuit.
Anyone wishing to experience some gliding can book a flight in the 'birdfalk' plus a T-Moth is based there doing booked trips.
