Skegness Airfield (Water Leisure Park)
Hi, Does anyone knowwhats going on with this airfield? I have it in pooleys as having 2 runways, 04/22 and 11/29 with 11/29 being to the west of 04/22, various items I have seen on the net suggest that the runway has moved and the sat photos on multimap seem to confirm this I then found another website which said it no longer exists?!
Thanks for your help

Both my (2003) Pooleys and AFE guide show it as you describe. If you look at http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v...6&scene=500689 you can see markings in the soil that appear to show that 04/22 was at some time longer.
My 1991 Pooleys shows a completly different Skegness airfield (Ingoldmells) which was 700m north in the fields to the north of the east/weat road

I went in last April, and as I recall it certainly had two runways then, pretty much as described. The whole place was in the middle of a vast caravan park, next (I think) to some kind of amusement park(waterpark sounds about right).
The runway surface (the longer one) was OK, but a little bumpy in places.
