Lymm Dam Airstrip

The closure was a direct result of the death of the private owner/operator. Unlike a public airport, its existence was tied to a single individual's passion for aviation. It was not closed for commercial economic reasons, military conversion, or due to a specific accident.

The site has reverted to agricultural land. The former grass runway is no longer maintained and, on recent satellite imagery, is now part of the surrounding fields of Dam Farm. The land is used for farming, and there are no visible remnants of active aviation infrastructure.

Lymm Dam Airstrip held no major historical or national significance. It was a classic example of a private, unlicensed grass airstrip, often referred to as a 'farm strip'. Its ICAO designator, GB-0306, is a UK-specific identifier for small, unofficial airfields, not a standard international code. The airstrip consisted of a single grass runway approximately 400 meters long. Its operations were exclusively for private, recreational general aviation. It was used by the owner and likely a small number of other pilots with prior permission (PPR) to operate light, single-engine aircraft.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airstrip. Given that its existence was tied to its late owner, and the land has been fully returned to agricultural use, the likelihood of it being reinstated as an airfield is extremely low to non-existent.
