Minor airfields united kingdom 24 august 1994

I am digitising a 1994 edition of an RAF Flight Information Publication entitled:

Minor Aerodromes United Kingdom

This is in a 'flip' book format with a number of airfields listed in the Index followed by an individual colour chart of each.

I shall try to post each chart under the appropriate heading in the Forum over the next couple of weeks but, if anyone wants to see a particular 'field just ask on here and I will prioritise the postings.

This is the cover:



.......and this is the Index:



......and this is a sample chart. I will post subsequent charts under the appropriate forum heading:

Peter, could I request Manchester/Barton and Woodford please?

Noted Iain, should get those up tomorrow under the relevant forum heading.

There is a Legend (map symbols) on the inside cover; I will post that too although I'm not too sure that the copy will be satisfactory due to the cover colour.

Thanks very much for scanning/uploading those Peter.

As someone who used to work in flight planning section this brings back memories. And I wonder how often fixed wing aircraft use Nesscliffe camp?

Pretty rare I should think. Army Air Corps Beavers perhaps VIP flighting to inspect the munitions depot.

I didn't realise that it is still active until your comment. Does the AAC still have the Islander?

July edition of Air Forces Monthly magazine gives the AAC fixed wing inventory as 9 Defenders and 4 Islanders.

Does this include the grey ones that operate with civil registrations and spend hours circling places like Bradford and Northern Ireland?

The RUC have an Islander and so do GMP. And of course there is the Northolt station flight!!!

Do GMP still have an islander? Haven't seen one in the NW for years. However, they never operated one that was fitted out by the MoD yet now wearing a normal civil tail number (in fact, IIRC the islanders that cheshire and manchester plod used had cherished (!) registrations like most of the plod and body chaser egg beaters). Often see the Northolt Station ones heading over towards your neck of the woods before they visit NI.

(apologies as this has gone totally off topic for Peters thread - maybe a mod can prune the thread)
