PA28 Final approach nr M56 Warrington
i was travelling back from north wales on wednesday when just going past appleton on the M56 when a PA28 with full flaps extended passed over head.
strange i thought as i want aware of a runway.. instant reaction was to come off the motor way to see if it was someone in trouble, but i couldnt find any way to get to where the plane was heading.. when i got home i checked google maps and there is an airfield there, Stretton i believe its called, looks to be either private or disused.. still, im guessing the pilot and plane landed safely, didnt hear anything on the news. |
Stretton more than likely, I've seen rotary stuff landing in that area several times too, R22 R44 types, if not Stretton then someone with a healthy bank account and a hangar full of toys!

There are three strips near Stretton, one is part of the disused taxiway on the North Eastern side of the disused airfield
The second is a grass strip on the South Western side, used by microlights Then is then a third strip, at a private house a couple of fields south of the one above used by a Navajo (I think) as well as a helicopter. In addition to these there is also a helipad at Stobarts Haulage to the North on the M56. |
