Fradley Air Strip
 

Hello guys, im new one here and someone has informed me that this maybe the place where i could find out some information on who to contact about Fradley Airfield?

I wonder if any of you maybe able to help me out. Im looking for the owner or who ever it is that i need to speak to in order to hold an event there. Would any of you be able to help me with this information?

Thanks in advance you guys :ok:

Is this on the old RAF Lichfield site?

Yes, thats the one. North lichfield i think it is :)

There is a book about the old RAF station there, can't remember the title for the life of me. There is still quite a lot of the infrastructure in situe there, just off the A38 a couple of miles north of Lichfield.

I live here and there isnt an airstrip left that I can see. The airfields are owned by www.leavesley.com I believe but they are rented out to companies. Try www.afspc.info/fradley.php or www.fradley-park.co.uk for more info. Local model plane flying is about all that goes on here nowadays.

All is revealed on Google Earth.

Is it a flying event? The only 2 flyables within a mile are Sittles Farm and Roddige; both to the East.

There's also a strip a bit further away in Streethay, right next to the A38/canal/Railway line

I think Lockyears may be a bit behind it. Mick Shea's current number is 01283 792193 although 07767 474847 is more practicable as he's rarely in the office. His Website is, http://www.microlightschool.org.uk/
