Carr Farm Airstrip

Cessation of private operations. As a small, private farm strip, its closure was almost certainly due to personal reasons of the owner/operator, such as retirement from flying, the sale of the associated aircraft, or a change in land ownership/use. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, military conversion, or wider economic reasons.

The site has been fully returned to agricultural use. The land where the grass runway was located is now part of a larger cultivated field and is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. All traces of its use as an airstrip have been removed, and there are no remaining aviation facilities on the site.

Carr Farm Airstrip was a private, unlicensed grass airstrip. Its significance was entirely local, serving as a base for light aircraft used for personal and recreational general aviation. It did not handle commercial or military operations. The identifier 'GB-0707' is an unofficial national code used in some aviation databases to track small airfields and is not a formal ICAO airport code (which for the UK would typically start with 'EG'). The airstrip consisted of a single grass runway, oriented roughly east-west, with no significant infrastructure like hangars or a control tower.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Carr Farm Airstrip. Re-establishing an airfield on the site would require a new landowner with an interest in aviation, significant ground preparation to recreate the runway, and obtaining new planning permission from the local council. Given that the land has been fully integrated back into a working farm, reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
