I fly at Greenham Common, former US nuclear airbase and now just a public common. Every time I fly I get warned that I'm flying at an unpaved airfield. This is nonsense; it hasn't been an airfield for about 20 years, and was never unpaved - it had a 2 mile tarmac airstrip. Just about all infrastructure has been demolished, except six enormous cruise missile bunkers. Anybody trying to land anything bigger than a quad at Greenham nowadays will have trouble finding any suitable clear strip, and will need to do battle with cows, wild horses, and ubiquitous gorse and bramble bushes! |
