The Wiltshire Flyers are Holding their second Spring Fly-In on Saturday 26th April at Inglesham Farm Strip which is approx 2Nm ESE of Fairford Airfield and situated adjacent to the River Thames between Letchlade and Highworth. Kettle will be on from 10:00hrs.
Lat/long 51° 39.98N 01°42.55W Elevation approx 243ft Length 600 yds. Circuit height 1000ft Circuit direction 24 Left Hand 06 Right Hand. Due to the proximity of the strip to the Brize Norton zone a polite call with your intention to land at Inglesham would not go amiss. With the field in sight use safety com 135.475 to listen for traffic and to transmit your intentions. There may be non radio A/C joining so maintain a good lookout for other traffic and join overhead, non radio aircraft please check signal tee and windsock for landing direction. There are trees on the approach to Rwy 24 and there is no run off as there is a stream running across the end of the runway so if in doubt go around. The Strip Is Narrow and there are shallow drainage gullies on each side. There is a ridge over a drainage culvert 100yrds from the end of Rwy 24. There might be soft spots on the taxi way dependant on the weather. Aircraft will be marshalled to avoid these as required.
