Orange Grove Barn Airstrip, Gloucestershire. GBM05
Another small one for you Gloucestershire farm strip fetishists. I've also seen this one called Chavenage but I prefer Orange Grove Barn. Feels more rustic. This is another one that wasn't included in the game. There's just the one runway, 07/25 at almost 2000 feet. It's a fair bit hilly. I had to tone down the hilliness a fair bit as it was a bit silly. Maybe I need to tone it down a bit more? I dunno, you tell me.
Two parking spots, one inside a hangar and if your plane's too fat for that then try parking spot #2. Dunno if there's a windsock here IRL but I added one anwyay because it's always handy, even if the prevailing winds means you'll be using RWY 25 90% of the time. The airfield sports some fancy cones as well which I spotted on Google Earth. I tried to match the cones to where they are IRL, so this is study level conage. Speaking of Google Earth, I only noticed there were sheep in the fields in the valley to the north of the strip after I'd finished everything and then I couldn't be bothered to go back and add some, so you've been spared animals for this release.
Not much more to say really, but that won't stop me rambling on. It's a lovely bit of country and there's a bit of a valley to the east that's quite pretty. If you want some places to fly to there's Bristol and Gloucestershire Gliding Club and Cotswold Gliding club both by PhotosbyKev to the North which are worth a visit. To the east there's Charlton Park Airfield as well. And ranging from west to south you'll find a bunch more of my airstrips. I think I might be oversaturating this part of the world wtih farm strips but that won't stop me. There's at least two or three more I wanna do and then maybe I'll head off somewhere exotic.
Enjoy!
