Skegness Airfield Photos

Beautifully kept landing strip on a huge caravan and camping park. North of Skegness proper. 1500 metres from the beach.

Nicely kept airfield. Few bumps but well maintained and easy to fly into and out of once you've spotted it.

Caravans everywhere including the final approach

The dog bone shaped pond/lake next to the airfield is another good visual aid.

Visited Skegness EGNI from Sherburn EGCJ on 08/08/2010 with my girlfriend. We flew in a warrior.

Finding it was eay enough due to the bone shaped island in the lake nearby.

A/G radio took 4 times to be answered.

The main runway 21 is not the smoothest Ive landed on with several bumps mid way, took some concentration to avoid bouncing back into the air!

The actual airfield is situated within a caravan/camping site. Ive never had as many people watching my landing! £7 landing fee I thought was on the expensive side. Its a short walk to the beach altough to get to actual Skegness would need a car.

Nice day out all in all and would visit again. No fuel that I saw on site.

 

great little plane

Taken on 30/05/09. This is a great little airfield with plans for expansion & licensing in the near future. Great people, friendly & informative. Don is a great guy, as is Darren. All I can say is "Watch this space!"
