club du Houssay Airfield

Private decision by the landowner/operator. The airfield was a private facility, and its closure was not due to military conversion, major accidents, or urban expansion. Reports from the time suggest the owner decided to stop the aviation activity, a common reason for the closure of small, privately-owned airfields.

The site has been completely decommissioned and returned to agricultural use. Analysis of historical and current satellite imagery shows that the grass runway, taxiways, and any associated buildings (like hangars) have been removed. The land has been plowed over and is now indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Club du Houssay Airfield was a small, private airfield dedicated to recreational general aviation, specifically for ultralight aircraft (ULM in French). It operated under the French FFPLUM identifier LF2821. The user-provided ICAO code 'FR-1056' is a non-official identifier used in some third-party databases. The airfield consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 400-500 meters long) and likely a small hangar. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for the 'Aéro-club du Houssay' and other local pilots for training and leisure flights. It did not handle any commercial or scheduled operations.

None known. There are no known plans or proposals to reopen the airfield. Given that the land has been fully reclaimed for agriculture and all aviation infrastructure has been removed, the prospect of it ever reopening as an airfield is extremely improbable.
