Thanks for the link re. Ainsdale Beach - that's a really interesting article.

Also Southport and Hesketh Sands, the former is still used I think or until recent decades anyway.

I wonder when the strip at Birkdale was last used? I remember the lad running in to a Tiger Moth prop and losing an arm.

It seems that Pembrey is not restricted to RAF aircraft, a USAF MC-130J from Mildenhall was using it at the end of last month
