Great place to visit (have been in the 180hp 172), but it's definitely not for the Arrow (especially loaded). There's a nice hole cut in the hedges at each end, but it's still short. The owner flies his SE260stol from there. That's a 182 with a 260hp lump and a canard fitted on the front. My dream short-field aeroplane........
Thurrock would be fine and it's now tarmac (and recently put in a shorter cross, grass runway). But the idea is to fly into the venue itself. Unfortunately many of our members would find Barnard's (aka West Horndon) a bit challenging.
Please keep the suggestions coming!
