Does anyone know if Castle Mill airfield near Bedford still exists? Having trouble finding out any specific details, but have a relative that lives nearby so it would be rather convenient to use!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!:ok: :D

I believe, although by no means certain, that the chap who owned it died a year or so back. I am not sure if his wife still wanted it used but I think I know someone who may know.

I also think it gets very wet in the winter. Isn't it next to the river?

It looked very wet and unused from the road the other Saturday morning

Its next to a narrow stretch of river, but I would probably only be looking to go in during the 'drier' months! Thanks for your help so far, vintage ATCO...any further info would be very gratefully received!:ok:

I overfly castle mill frequently and landed a glider there in 2001

for the last 3 years it has not looked landable for anything (dug up in parts and now building at the western end) so i suggest its a non starter - sorry
