Orchard House airfield
 

Can anyone please let have any information on / contact details for this airfield? It is conveniently close to somewhere I need to visit and I woudl like to take a Yak 50 into there if possible.

Many thanks.

Which Orchard House. Roughly where in the UK?

There was once an Orchard Place, but that's a bit big for a Yak 50!

Better known as Chicago O'Hare (ORD/KORD)

It is on the half mil Southern England chart, 7ish miles north west of Lakenheath AFB in Norfolk, about 5 miles south of Downham Market.

Thanks.

Ahh. Not the same one I was thinking of.

SC,

try calling the SATCO at Lakenheath, they will probably know..but make sure you have a TXPDR before calling them lol
;)

Thanks Zlin 526. I will try that. But surely someone must have been there or know the owner? I don't have a copy of Lockyers - perhaps I should invest. Does anyone who has a copy know if Orchard House is in there?

Thanks
SC

SC, there's no Orchard House in the current Lockyear's, I'm afraid.

The other source that I often find useful for farm strip contact details, Navbox ProPlan, can't help on this occasion either.

Nort West of Lakenheath
 

Lark Engine Farmnouse is about where you say, I've sent details, there is also a strip at Southery a bit nearer to Downham market, also sent numbers for this.
