Newmarket Airfields?-HELP
 

Does anyone know of a small airstrip as close to Newmarket as possible. It would be to land a Seneca?

Thanks
:bored:

How about Newmarket? :ok:

Although it may be available only on race days. (?)

Newmarket Race Course 01638 663 482 may be able to help.

Note that there are two different landing strips for Newmarket, one with each of the two race courses. There's the July strip by the July course (runways 14/32) and 3 runways by the Rowley Mile (14/32 - not the same one as the July course strip - 10/28 and 18/36). They have major restrictions on use (e.g. not during races) and are strictly PPR - you need a briefing. The Jockey Club gets very upset if you frighten the horses (understandably - a good race horse almost makes an A380 look cheap). They are also a bit hard to see from the air. The July strip is so wide (70m) that it doesn't look like an air strip - the race track is next to it and looks much more like a runway!

The AFE VFR guide gives contact details and a map, and I'm sure Pooleys, Bottlang etc do too.

It's the best way to arrive for the races.
