Cromer - Northrepps - Winspurs Farm Airfield Information

Post by norwichmike » Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:22 am

Details of my local airstrip

Address
Northrepps Aerodrome, North Walsham Road, Northrepps, Norfolk, NR27 9LF

Website
http://www.flycromer.com

Radio Frequency
129.825 (Cromer Radio)

Visitor Information
Friendly airfield with lovely Cafe which opens every weekend weather depending. Every movement and aircraft on the field can be seen from the public area.
There are currently 4 hangars with a 5th underway which house all the based aircraft. Hangar access is only permitted if accompanied by someone, See below.

Hangar Access Contact
I am willing to show any aviation enthusiasts around the hangars to log the registrations however this will depend on just a couple of thing.
1. Pre-Arrange with myself by emailing to mikesaviation @ googlemail.com (Remove the spaces) : I need names and day of visit
2. I can only show people round on a weekend
3 . Subject to other commitments - I do have a family to think about and I also go out spotting too.

Spotting/Photography
Airside access is not permitted unless accompanied by a club member. However this is not necessarily needed as all aircraft visiting can be seen and the runways visible from the public area.

Photo Locations:
1. Public Area/Car Park - This is an area behind the fence which looks out over the apron and the 2 runways. All movements can be viewed from here and allow photographs as per these shots...
