Karen Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 From Dave(not Karen) I Have been flying on a PPL for some 15yrs and have frequently flown from the U.K. to Le Touquet for lunch or a weekend etc.. However, now that we have a holiday home near Hesdin it would be nice to find a private airfield nearer to Hesdin than the municipal airports of Le Tuoquet, Berck or Abbeville. As there is always loads of information and many queries get answered on this web site I thought it was worth asking. There was a small airfield at Mouriez marked on the aero chart a number of years ago but nothing recently. So if any of you know of say a farmer who operates a light aircraft from his land or have any suggestions or would like a chat please reply .Regards Dave & Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patmobile Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 There's a farm near Fruges where the farmer has created a strip for light aircraft. I can't remember the name right now but I will look it up and get back later.What length of runway would you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patmobile Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 The airfield is at Verchocq near Fruges. I understand there is a hangar and a restaurant as well.I will e-mail you the details in case putting them here constitutes advertising.Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
