Eshott Airfield is a former Royal Air Force (RAF) World War II airfield in Northumberland, England, 20 miles (32 km) north of Newcastle, and midway between Morpeth and Alnwick. It is also known as Bockenfield Aerodrome.
Eshott Airfield is home to two flying schools, Purple Aviation and Northumbria Microlights.
Purple Aviation operates two Evektor Eurostar EV-97 aircraft powered by a Rotax 912 engine along with one flexi-wing, the Pegasus Quik GT450. Talks have commenced[when?] upon the purchase of another aircraft.
Northumbria Microlights operates a Medway SLA-80, the only SLA-80 aircraft used in flight training in the British Isles. (see Wikipedia)
Installation-Informations:
- The artificial runways can be hidden, which is often useful for grass runways and/or for all runways if high-resolution images of the airfield are available. It is sufficient to rename the affected runway files, e.g.:
- heli1_obj.tmb__OFF
- rap……m….m_rwy.tmb__OFF
