Flying at the aerodrome was suspended on Monday morning “due to an incident” according to Notice To Airmen website NOTAM Info.
The notice read: “Airfield closed due to incident. Aircraft obstructing runway.”
Situated in Belton, the airfield opened in 1944 as a satellite RAF base for nearby RAF Lindholme but has been used for many decades as an aerodrome for light aircraft enthusiasts and flying lessons.
We have contacted aerodrome operators E-Plane Limited for more details of the incident.
