Inverkip airstrip

The airstrip's existence as a formal, fixed-wing facility is unverified and highly doubtful. The ICAO-like code 'GB-1061' appears in unofficial, user-generated flight simulator databases, which is the likely origin of this listing. The primary reason for the site's transformation was the economic obsolescence and subsequent demolition of the Inverkip Power Station, which occupied the land. The site was then cleared for land redevelopment.

The site of the former power station and the supposed airstrip has been completely redeveloped. It is now a large, modern residential housing estate named 'The Chimneys', a reference to the demolished power station chimney. The coordinates provided point directly within this housing development.

There is no record of 'Inverkip airstrip' having any historical significance as a licensed or recognized airfield. It was never a military, commercial, or notable general aviation airport. The location's actual significance is tied to the former Inverkip Power Station, an oil-fired power station built in the 1970s but rarely used to its full potential. Its 237-meter (778 ft) chimney was the tallest freestanding structure in Scotland and a major local landmark until its demolition in 2013. Any aviation activity would have been minimal and likely restricted to helicopter operations for construction, maintenance, or inspection of the power station.

There are zero prospects for reopening an airstrip at this location. The land has been permanently and irreversibly repurposed for residential use, making any future aviation activity impossible.
