Name for house on airfield
 
Hi all,

I am fortunate enough to be able to build a house on the airfield at Strathaven.

For various reasons - one being to distinguish between business and private properties - the local authority want the house to have a name.

I was quite happy with "Strathaven Airfield" as the address, but they want Dunflyin', Strathaven Airfield, or somesuch.

So, any of you have some good - or great! - ideas.

Wit's End appeals since we are about there and only half way through the building process ;-(

Surely Pinkerton House ?


Gp Cpt George Pinkerton, chairman of the Scottish Flying Club when it bought Couplaw farm in the 1950s, was the pilot who shot down the first German aircraft over British soil in WW2.

He was still chairman in the 1970s when the airfield was given to the RAF Benevolent Fund so it "would continue to be used for flying". This is probably why many people think it is an ex-wartime airfield.

I would go for Airfield View, simple and life doesn't get any better than that :)

Or how about Dun Flying? ;)

Let us know when the TV Programme is on.
