Bromsgrove Farm Strip

[rich_hodgetts]

Hi,

I would be interested to know if anybody has any contacts concerning the farm strip located near Stoney Lane in Bromsgrove?

It is so close to my house I would really like to find out about what goes on there - its certainly closer than my 78 mile commute to get airborne!

Thanks

My personal advice, go there and talk to somebody!

I don´t fly in the U.K, nor do I have any experience with smaller strips over there (Heathrow don´t qualify as such), but I have discovered loads of small (seemingly) abandoned airfields where I live.

When I spot one (either from the air or from the road) I tend to go there by car at a convenient time and just speak to anyone that´s out there. An employee, security personnel from a nearby farm or company; you name it. It´s normally easy to obtain a phone number or something……..

If there´s no info available at all, or when I am not able to get in by car; I tend to just go there during my next flight--> provided the runway looked OK. Then you definitely get attention, and you know it´s easier to ask forgiveness than permission at times.

Never had an unfriendly encounter yet (apart from a few dogs); in fact I am now officially welcome at all strips I discovered this way.
Small airstrips tend to welcome unexpected visitors, and I guess the key in things like this--> is simply the way you ask………..
