Hi
Do you have any details for this airstrip. I can find no info. -
Comment from jan_olieslagers
I found it in a list , published as a pdf, called "Britisch Isles Airfield Guide". It dates from 2013 though, so I cannot vouch there still is an active aerdrome today. Do feel free to add "note" or "fixme" or "closed=yes" as you see fit. Regards,

@jan_olieslagers what's the licence associated with the PDF and where did the information in it come from?

Comment from jan_olieslagers
I've no idea. There is no mention of copyright or licence in the pdf that I could find. Let me have an address and I'll be glad to mail it to you. Regards,

A quick web search of "Britisch Isles Airfield Guide" "pdf" "2013" finds a few candidates, such as http://www.laasdata.com/uploads/The-LAAS-British-Isles-Airfield-Guide.pdf . Is it perhaps one of those?
In the absense of any other information we probably can't assume that the licence is suitable for use in OSM. Many "gathered off the web" things will have depended at some stage on Google geocoding.
In this case the position of the woodland makes the position as marked hard to believe - a takeoff or landing into the prevailing westerly wind would likely end up wrapped around a tree. -
Comment from Cebderby
Visually, the line of T hangars at the west shows it was an aviation site (at the time of the images). Looks like it is a private site known variously as (Wickwar/Yate) Chase Farm (Airstrip), certainly in use 2009-2016 (see https://svmc.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/August-2016.pdf). The E-W run at the north of the field is large enough for microlights.
