Gartmorn farm strip

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. As a small, private farm strip, the closure was most likely due to personal or economic reasons concerning the owner, such as the sale of the aircraft or land, retirement from flying, or the cost of maintenance. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or regulatory action.

The site has fully reverted to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the area as open fields, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining signs of a runway, hangar, or any other aviation infrastructure at the specified coordinates.

Gartmorn farm strip had no major historical significance. It was a private, unlicensed grass airstrip used for recreational general aviation. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft and possibly microlights, owned and operated by the landowner and potentially invited guests. The identifier 'GB-1309' is not an official ICAO code (which begin with 'EG' in the UK) but a national or user-database-specific designator, highlighting its unofficial status. Its location is near Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, not 'Unknown, GB'.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Gartmorn farm strip. Given that the land has been returned to agricultural use for over a decade, reopening is highly unlikely and would require a new landowner with a specific interest in aviation to re-establish the facility and secure any necessary permissions.
