Unknown. The airfield's operational period is not officially documented. However, significant residential development of the Scale Hall estate from the mid-20th century onwards would have made any aviation activity impossible, suggesting closure occurred prior to or during that period (circa 1950s-1960s).
Urban development. The land on which the purported airfield was located was redeveloped into the Scale Hall residential and commercial estate, a suburb of Lancaster. This suburban expansion made the site unsuitable for any form of aviation.
The site is now a fully developed and densely populated suburban area. The specific coordinates (54.05869, -2.82458) point to the heart of the Scale Hall housing estate in Lancaster, surrounded by homes, roads, local businesses, and nearby parkland (Ryelands Park). There are no remaining traces of any aviation infrastructure.
There is no evidence to suggest Scale Hall Airfield had any significant historical role. It does not appear in official historical aviation records or on Ordnance Survey maps of the period as a formal, licensed airfield. The ICAO code 'GB-1085' is a non-official, pseudo-ICAO identifier, likely created for use in flight simulator databases or other unofficial catalogues to mark a location. If the airfield existed, it was almost certainly a small, private, and temporary grass airstrip used by light aircraft, with no known military, commercial, or major general aviation operations.
None. The land is completely occupied by residential and commercial properties and public infrastructure. There is no physical space or political possibility for the site to be converted back into an airfield.
