Landing at EGDV Hullavington Near Chipenham
Hi does any one know contact details or if it is possible to land at EGDV Hullavington, a quick Google does not reveal much.
I will need to land Friday 14th September 2012 and leave Sunday 16th staying at Grittleton a couple of miles to the west so it is ideal.
Or any other sites near by, I prefer 700 mtr + hard runway or good grass.
Thanks

Kemble if you want hard. Charlton, oaksey and badminton have got to be the nearest grass that are well publicised cant think of any private strips closer. I have never heard of anyone getting into Hullavington other than in a glider so will be interesting to see if you get any response.

I think it is possible to land at Hullavington but has to be arranged several days before, probably by sending proof of the usual £1.7.million indemnity insurance required by the MoD.

Thank you for feed back and suggestions, I did get through to the correct authority (Buckley Barracks who control the field)
I have decided against this airfield now as basically zero security and the field is open to public access, as well they have had a few incidents of theft etc.
Likely will choose Kemble.

Probably a good decision as when they held the last G-VFWE fly-in there were several dinged props due to the rough grass. This was probably caused by C-130s with SAS operatives churning it up (allegedly).
