Cessna T.206H G-NIME inbound from Wombleton(1340) for maintenance

twev not doubting your report in any way but I thought that Wombleton (ex RAF Wombleton) had ceased to be a GA airfield. I last visited it in the mid '70s when I was looking for a flat surfaced area to do some driver training and it was in a pretty poor state even then. My memory tells me that it eventually became a Community Refuse Tip. There are a number (now) of GA fields in that general area. Is it possible that the take off location may have been miscontrued?

I wonder if a300boy has any more recent and relevant information about Wombleton than me?

 

[twevsmiff]

I might have some information and I am sure "my mate" a300boy would confirm))))

Pretty sure that last time I passed there , a wind sock was visible and signs if aviation activity. That was about 3 years ago.

 

[airforced]

Thanks all for the update. As I mentioned my comments were based on VERY old info and recollections, It is good to see that time has moved on and that someone has come in and revived the old facility. Good luck to them and that the Slingsby T67 facility seems to be remaining in the local area.

Flight VLJ869Y has just passed to the west of Heathrow and looks to be due just after 1600hrs. There must be some nice photo opportunities down the approach.
