By Air
The airspace near Snitterfield is quite complex,
because we are on the edge of the BHX approach zones. We have a detailed
local airspace map
of the immediate vicinity.
The hangar at Snitterfield is BGA Turning Point SNI, but it's
Class D and also very close to controlled airspace.
We use the Dun Cow, a kilometre away, as our start and finish point,
and this is BGA Turning Point SN2.
There is only one road bridge in the centre of Stratford, the Clopton
Bridge where the A422 to Banbury crosses the river. It is adjacent
to a pedestrian bridge. The Clopton Bridge is
BGA Turning Point SOA. The most visible landmark in Stratford is
the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It is a large brick building on the
North side of the Avon in the centre of Stratford,
and is the only building there of any size.
It is 200m West of the bridge.
We have a
SOA turning point photo
taken looking West.
SNI is 52°14.136N 1°42.645W, 375' 110m AMSL.
SN2 is 52°13.374N 1°44.126W, 375' 110m AMSL.
SOA is 52°11.481N 1°42.004W, 140' 40m AMSL.
