Blease Hall Airfield

The closure was due to the cessation of private aviation activities by the landowner. As a private farm strip, its operation was dependent on the owner's personal use. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to military conversion, a specific accident, or broader economic reasons.

The site has fully reverted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the land where the runway was located is now indistinguishable from the surrounding fields, used for grazing or silage. All aviation infrastructure, such as any potential windsock or basic hangar/storage, has been removed. The location is simply active farmland.

Blease Hall Airfield was a private airstrip, also known as a 'farm strip', associated with the adjacent Blease Hall farm. Its significance is not in major historical events, but as an example of the numerous private general aviation airfields that support recreational flying in the UK. Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft and potentially microlights operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The airfield consisted of a single grass runway, approximately 450 meters long, with the designator 07/25. It served as a base for the private aircraft of the landowner and possibly invited guests.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Blease Hall Airfield. Given that the land has been fully re-integrated into agricultural operations and its status as a private strip was dependent on a previous owner's interest, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
