© Farthing Corner Airfield
The Airfield by Air
Runway length is approx 380 metres.
The frequency to be used is Safetycom on 135.48MHz
Note the National Grid power lines to the north of the strip. All
cicuits to be to the south.
The farmhouse complex on the approach to runway 24 is to be
avoided and this will involve a curving approach to runway 24
and an immediate right turn after departure on runway 06.
Even in light winds there is the possibility of severe turbulence
from the trees on the approach to runway 06.
The surface of the strip is undulating. The eastern end of the
runway has a sturdy fence enclosing it. Only use the runway
and taxiway. Runway 24 has a starter extension of approx 200
metres.
PPR is absolutely essential. No landings without it!!
The Airfield by Road
To access the airstrip by road, leave the M2 at junction 4
and proceed north up Hoath Way. Turn right at the
roundabout and immediately right again at the next
roundabout. Straight ahead at the mini roundabout.
Another right at the next roundabout will take you under
Hoath Way and then over the M2. Take the first left into
Kemsley Street Rd and carry on past the Cat Sanctuary
and you will see a gate on the right with a sign saying
"Stone Acre Farm". This is the airfield entrance gate which
requires a code to gain entrance.
