Hook Norton Airstrip

The airstrip was a private 'farm strip'. The closure was not due to a specific incident, accident, or military conversion. Such airfields typically cease operations for personal or economic reasons of the owner, such as retirement from flying, sale of the property, or the cost of maintenance outweighing its use. The land was subsequently reverted to its primary agricultural purpose.

The site has been fully returned to agricultural use. The land where the runway was located is now an active farm field, used for crops or grazing, and is part of the larger landscape of Wiggington Heath Farm. There are no visible remnants of the airstrip, such as hangars, windsock bases, or runway markers.

Hook Norton Airstrip was a private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving as a base for the landowner and potentially other pilots with permission to operate light aircraft. It featured a single grass runway (08/26) approximately 600 meters long. Operations consisted of recreational flying and private transport in small, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas or Pipers. It was a characteristic example of the many private farm strips that form a crucial, though often unseen, part of the UK's aviation infrastructure, but it held no wider commercial or military importance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airstrip. Given that the site is privately owned and has been fully reintegrated into agricultural operations, the likelihood of it being converted back to an airfield is extremely low to non-existent.
