Air Fields

Tesla · 6 Feb 2006 at 14:07

I want to take my car to an unused air field so I can try out a few things that are too dangerous and probably illegal.

Any ideas on how I can find one?

Cheers,

Chris

I am another person who would love to know how to find them aswell.

follow a plane and hang around

saitrix · 6 Feb 2006 at 15:34

I think you missed out the word unused, because one would assume that planes do not use the said airfield anymore.

I'm not aware of any that are open to the public for no charge.

Hate · 6 Feb 2006 at 16:46

yeah, hence the "hang around" bit, itll come unused after a while

there's a difference between "open to the public" and "accessible"

(not that i'm advocating the breaking of any trespassing laws, but if it's an unused airfield what harm is it goin to bring

)

agree with above, I have heard of one in cheshire but never found out where. A few hours on google maps bored at work might sort it!

It's airfield central in this part of the world but most of them have either been turned into industrial estates or taken over by farmers.

In fact I even work at old airfield

I would also be intrested. Apparently there are a few around the new forest area but I have never actually found any, probably because as kaiowas says, they have been turned into industrial estates and I read somewhere some have been changed into roads!

also if yer gonna riding the tail off your car in the middle of nowhere make sure someone knows where you have gone, and take a mobile too

There is one at Homesly in the New Forest. Head for Christchurch, then move along through Burton, WInkton and out towards Bransgore, carry on up a long long road towards a place called Thorney Hill, when you reach the top of this long hill (you go over a cattle grid), turn right at the cross roads, travel down the hill and there is a huge one on your right hand side! You can access it via the A35 IIRC.

And go with a friend aswell as someone else knowing where you are.
