Yearby Airstrip - Prior Permission ONLY
Yearby Airstrip 2017:
The current view looking South East towards New Marske and New Marske Woods on the hill.
The foreground shows the A174 roundabout, with the B1269, and Kirkleatham Memorial Park and Crematorium.
The Memorial Park and Crematorium opened in 2014 and is not shown on any other photograph.
The following two photos show the location of what we refer to as the Winter Strip (the darker green line). This is the smoothest and driest surface throughout the year.
View of 07:
Showing the line of the Winter strip in dark green. There is a displaced threshold at this end of the strip. The road is the B1269.
View of 25:
In Summer the whole strip can be usable after the hay crop is harvested. The Winter line shows up clearly after the hay is gone and is the driest line if we have a wet Summer.
During periods of wet weather Yearby Airstrip can become waterlogged.
Prior permission and briefing are essential.
Use is at the pilot's discretion and risk.
