EAST FORTUNE AIRFIELD

Spotting Info
Microlight strip on opposite side of road to the Museum of Flight and just 400 yards up the road on the left. Lots of residents but most are in the hangars. There isn't always someone here so it's best to arrange a visit in advance - they're very friendly and happy to show you round if someone's available.
