Airfield / Airport near Daventry

[tobster911]

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/-1.2332I 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.

Thought that may be the case...

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

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.
