Abingdon Airfield

The MOD owns the airfield and as such it is out of bounds without authorisation.

The MOD owns the airfield and as such it is out of bounds without authorisation. However, Dalton Barracks have kindly recognised that local residents appreciate the large open space for dog walking and exercise. Sadly some people are not cooperating by going on the main runway. This is strictly off limits as at any time there can be activity which would be a hazard to non-authorised individual(s) on the runway and a risk to legitimate users. If the misuse of the runway continues then there is a concern that the army will close the whole of the airfield which would be a great shame and a loss to those who obey the rules.
