Likely to be doing my first landings there shortly rather than at Sackville. Weather messing us about at moment! Hopefully that campaign group will succeed in creating a new "infrastructure" category for airfields to fit into rather than "brownfield"
Hopefully land there this coming sunday. Overhead join and I heard the west side of the runway is smoother. Love the history of the place. BTW, is your cafe open on weekends?
Hi Graham, I work for BBC News and we're doing a TV report involving Deenethorpe airfield. Is this your footage of Deenethorpe? When was it filmed please? Could we please use this with a credit to you please?

My dad was stationed there in WW2.
What happened to the microlight school that was based there?
Love that triangle S.
Still has the bomb store area with slopes and earth work blast walls
Great footage thanks Graham. I hope this means the threat of housing has gone? Would be horrible to lose this airfield.
Could still happen, let's hope its years away...

Can people still fly in? Used to years ago as I have a friend in Upper Benefield. Have asked him to drop in and check. Can’t find contact details.
Yes you can

Hi, can the grass along the main be used to land on?
