Flyers facing eviction from Maypole Airfield near Canterbury
Flying enthusiasts are being ejected from an airfield which has been home to their aircraft for decades.
The instruction has come out of the blue in a solicitorâs letter ordering pilots to remove their planes and equipment from Maypole Airfield in Hoath, near Canterbury.

The owners of the airfield recently put the 55-acre site, plus a bungalow, up for sale through Strutt and Parker for £2 million as a going concern, although it is no longer listed on the agentâs website.
But with pilots given just 30 days to find an alternative location, there is speculation permission could be sought to develop the site.
