I love farm strips and this time we get to visit two new ones, both short and tight where I not only get to fly a tricky approach and get rewarded with some amazing ice cream, I also get to, unintentionally, shower a load of kids with stones.

So, join me today as together we go summer farm stripping in Kent.

Solleys is a famous brand of Kentish ice cream made to a special recipe on the lovely working farm at Ripple where we will be checking out the short farm strip located there and tasting their sweet ice cream straight from the on site parlour shop.

But first we’re off to Harringe Court Farm a 380 meter narrow grass strip that’s mainly used by microlights and from my PPR and briefing and with the wind blowing from the north today I’ve established that we’ll need to be landing on their runway 01 which has a slight down hill slope.
Harringe Court Farm is located just over 5 nautical miles to the west of Folkestone and about the same distance to the east of Ashford in Kent. It has a single grass runway 380 meters long by 10 meters wide oriented 01 / 19 it’s set in open farmland but with noise sensitive areas all around and a model flying club close to the 19 threshold, it is also home to the Kent Microlight Club.

The two strips I visit in this episode both require, PPR you can find details below:

My name is Terry Kent and I am a General Aviation PPL private pilot operating out of North Weald EGSX about 12 miles to the north east of London in the UK. Short Field is my channel focused on the lighter side of General Aviation including flight and airfield reviews, equipment unboxing and review plus all things private pilot related. I use various cameras to record my videos including GoPro and Insta 360 and stills and edit them in Adobe Premiere Pro, I am an animator as well and often use animations to describe situations more clearly I use Blender and Adobe After Effects for these. I always attempt to post my videos in the highest possible quality, normally 4k.

I fly a 2011 Pipersport two seat single engine aircraft that is also known as the PS28 or SportCruiser in the USA (America) it is know under the FAA as an LSA or Light Sport Aircraft and can be flown on a very basic license. In the UK it is a Part 21 airplane which requires a full licence but it's generally cheap to run, affordable maintenance and great value for money. It cruises at 100 to 105 knots and has superb short take off and landing or STOL capabilities. I visit farm strips, back country and short airfields, some of them dangerous and I try not to crash :-), as well as international airports and try to learn something new every time I fly.

I fly VFR and IFR as well as visual and instrument approaches.

My videos may give helpful information to pilots but please remember these are just for entertainment, I am not an instructor nor should anything shown in my videos be used for real world aviation, also the airfields I visit may have totally changed or even closed since the making of the video so always consult the latest information for your country.

If you enjoyed this video, please give it a ‘thumbs up’ and leave me a comment in the box below, I love to read them and I also like to hear what you like or dislike about my video.

Thank you so much.

If you like my content (I don't get any revenue from this channel at all) you could buy me a coffee but no worries if you don't want too, I'm just chuffed that you are even interested in my videos, and if you ever see me at any airfields please come over and say 'Hi' and I'll probably buy you a coffee.
