cheddington
 
Hi all, I was wondering if anybody knows anything about cheddington airfield? (Aka long marston or marsworth to some?) As I can see it marked as an active strip of some sort on my chart and some friends and family live very close by. I know that it is primarily a business park now since decommissioning, but is it still flyable? All I can find on the internet is about when the yanks had it, and google shows a couple of fryingpans, buildings and taxiways, no runway:( although the field behind looks plausible? Any info greatly received,

Cheers,
Oli

I last flew into Long Marston in 1991 but a quick Google of "Long Marston Microlights" answers most of your questions - here are the first three results:

Long Marston Airfield

Freedom Sports Flying School

Flying School - Fly with the World Champion

Cheers for that Weekend Flyer, I'll have to investigate. I know it will probably have changed no end since then, but what was it like down there?

Cheers,

Just had a quick look at those links, and they're for Long Marston near stoke. Cheers anyway,

oli,

This has come up a couple of times in the past try the search function, there are several hits, but these two are probably the most relevant (but won't necessarily tell you anything new).
