“Fishburn is the best airfield in the world!!

Friendly people who welcome visitors from everywhere.

Worth a visit just for the 'coffee cake' !!! and Beryl's BLT sandwiches.

You will be guaranteed a warm welcome here.

“A beautiful little airfield. Well worth visiting just for the chat with the locals and a very interesting selection of visiting aircraft. My landing fee was waived as I filled up with fuel. Note there is a 1.6% upslope on 26 and although in good condition, flat it aint. The strange black dots just North of the runway on Pooley’s plate are a row of hangars, which made the field relatively easy to find when I realised what they were.”

“Fabulous little airfield. Interesting technical problems, good facilities, nice place to stop off on an afternoon out. The runway does all sorts of slopes at once which is hillarious but it is in good condition as are the parking areas. the A/G is typical small strip, intermittant but functional. If you need R/T at places like this .... I seem to recall the landing fee was insignificant and it may even have been free for Sherburnites. I spent over two hours here just chatting to the locals who I had never met, being topped up with coffee and sampling some truly excellent Chocolate Cake (homemade with abundant icing). There was a briefing stuff somewhere i recall but it wasn't obvious.”

“Visited on 18th June 2005 in C150, a very friendly place, good sandwiches, well worth a visit.”
