Hello all,
I've got an event coming up in a few months in Daventry, and was wondering if anyone knew if there was an airfield / airport locally that I could fly a PA28 into?
Many thanks

Looking at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/52.2526/-1.2332 (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/52.2526/-1.2332)I found only the airstrip at Newnham Grounds nearby. It that doesn't suit I'm afraid it will have to be Coventry or perhaps Turweston.

Sywell and Shotteswell look to be a bit closer than Baginton.

I'd prefer short grass...

Haha, me too, long grass isn't good.
Thank you all though, I'll see what I can arrange :)

Long grass can be usefull.
On approach to a small airfield on the west coast of Ireland.
