FLIGHT, DECEMBER 7, 1933 THE POSITION TO-DAY A Guide to the Municipal Airport facilities offered by the sixteen established Airports THE following pages form the second half of our special Airport Supplement, and give details of the muni cipal airports which have already been established. It has not been possible to write a lengthy treatise upon each airport pointing out the peculiar advantages it has, either by virtue of its position with regard to the country in general, or because of its particular attractions for manu facturers or other purposes. These points were dealt with very fully in FLIGHT for April 15 and 22, 1932, and have not changed to a great extent since then. The information we give our readers here is, as are the maps and plans, from that invaluable Air Ministry publication, the " Air Pilot." Readers will thus be able to see at a glance the size, the facilities offered, and the other main features affecting the aerodromes from a flying point of view. It will be seen from the official1 list, which is also included in these pages, that there are 16 licensed municipal airports, while a further five towns have actually purchased sites. Of these latter the Municipality of Carlisle have already done suffi cient work on their site to make it a usable landing ground.

BLACKPOOL (STANLEY PARK) AERODROME STANLEY PARK AERODROME is situated If miles East by South from the foot of North Pier, Blackpool, and immediately east of Stanley Park on the east outskirts of Blackpool. It is a fully licensed municipal airport for public use, and is operated by the Blackpool Corporation. The surrounding country is gently undulating, with small cultivated grass fields bordered by hedges. There are many ponds, but it is, in general, fairly suitable for emergency landing grounds. A public park and an in habited area are situated to the west. Flying instruction is given by the Blackpool and Fylde Aero Club. BLACKrlS '/! Mi/at I '/> 0 t K/omtlrci 1227 E 2
