North Denes re-opening?
A new windsock has been seen flying.
https://yarmouthheliport.co.uk In case you think it's a bit small, it has comparable declared distances to Netherthorpe and prior to its closure for fixed wing traffic, it had a thriving fixed wing flying training school and operated fixed wing pleasure flights; I've been trying to ascertain when it became a 'helicopter only' operation but it could have been as early as 1980 or as late as 1990. North Denes (1980) was 582m for runway 10/28 and 381m for 18/36 whereas Netherthorpe is 552m for 06/24 and 382m for 18/36 . |

This article says 1983 This would tie in with my memory as we operated 365C's out of there on an adhoc basis around then and I don't think there were any fixed wing left.. https://www.greatyarmouthmercury.co....minal-customs/ |
On their web site:
Yarmouth Heliport is maintaining and transitioning the strong aviation hallmark with the help of CAA to welcome drones, micro-lights and visiting rotary and fixed wing aircraft that can operate on a 600m illuminated grass runway. |
