Preston Lancs
Hi All
Can anyone tell me if there are any airfields/strips near to Preston. Ruled out Blackpool, Woodvale, Warton. Anthing with 350 metres or more would be nice.
Thanks

There's a gliding site at Chipping just north of Preston.
Or what about Salmesbury just east of the M6?
Don't on any account try the disused site just nw of Preston as there are one or two aerials to contend with.
Take a floatplane and land on the River Ribble.
btw what have you got against Preston International (Squires Gate) Airport?

Thanks everyone. I need to go to Tarleton not too infrequently and it is about a 3 hours drive for me but only about 40 mins direct by air. No contest really. Blackpool is still quite far away and expensive for landing/parking/taxi etc. tarleton is south west of Preston so if any one knows of anything around that area then info most gratefully received.

What GA could land at Ince?
Nice airfield, nice people. Hope to go back there sometime in the summer but it's more convenient for Southport than Preston.
