NEXT ASSIGNMENT
===============
We'll continue with the idea of flying the strips in the order they are
set out here, since there have been no screams of protest about having
adopted the
approach last week.
HALLWELL X1HA N50 21.91 W3 42.44
-------------
7 miles WSW of Torquay and 4 miles S of Totnes.
The field is located on top of a hill, with two small hangars in to the
right of Rwy 07. Shown on CAA charts
It is run by the South Hams Flying Club and landing fee is £2, which
I'll overlook.
RUNWAY E to W (460 x 110m)
CIRCUITS: 500', to the N. Tight circuits to avoid local villages,
particularly one to the West.
WINDSOCK: In the centre of the field, to the right of Rwy 07
FARWAY COMMON X2SI N50 44.21 W3 11.16
------------------------
Located 4 miles NE of Sidmouth and 4 miles S of Honiton. Shown on CAA
charts.
The wood in the centre of the field is a good landmark.
Nearest Alternate: Dunkeswell.
RUNWAYS: 04/22 (500 x 15 m), 01/19 (530 x 13 m), 10/28 (580 x 15 m),
18/36 (550 x 15 m).
Some undulations and slope.
WINDSOCK: To the left of 04 threshold and 04 runs parallel to the
Southern end of the woods.
CIRCUITS: Avoid SW corner, due to horses and cottages.
BINSTEAD X2BS Isle of Wight N50 43.39 W1 12.27
-------------
Located 2 miles W of Ryde and 1/2 mile E of Wooton. VERY HARD TO SPOT!
It is 1/2 mile South of the large brick Abbey on North coast.
Nearest Alternates Bembridge and Sandown.
RUNWAY: 18/36 (400 x 16 m). Level and a gap in the cables, at South.
CIRCUITS & NOISE: No circuits. Landings must be arranged so that no
buildings are overflown. ON NO ACCOUNT OVERFLY THE ABBEY AND HOUSES TO
THE NORTH! Also avoid village 1/2 miles to the South
WINDSOCK: None. Strip lies between Hangar (in trees) and farm buildings
to the West.
Easy to land....if you can spot the runway. You need a few higher
altitude passes but avoiding the Abbey. May see you at Bembridge!
PS UK2000 Bembridge is awful! Don't be tempted to locate to Sandown, via
the Menu. It's on the end of the pier!
I've got a passable Sandown showing, I knew not from where. A bit of
detective work has shown it to be part of the Isle of Wight Demo scenery.
