May have been an eager mapper after this incident but certainly no sign of a formal or informal strip there

It just doesn't seem to actually exist, and I question where the name came from. --- Thanks, Andrew Welch m...@andrewwelch.net <mailto:m...@andrewwelch.net> On 29/04/2024 5:34 pm, Frederik Ramm wrote: Hi, the DWG was contacted by the owner of some farmland about an aerodrome=airport that was mapped on their property and which they would like to have removed since it was not a published airstrip and while they occasionally used it for take-offs and landings they don't want ir promoted. My standard response in cases like this would be "I can mark it access=private but if something is clearly there, I cannot remove it." I have checked with aerial imagery though and there is absolutely nothing on the aerial imagery that would set this "airstrip" apart from the neighbouring grassland. Yes it looks like I could land a plane there, but I could also land a plane the next field over, or a little bit further east or west - it all looks the same. I assume that there might be a clue locally like a windsock or so, but other than that, nothing. I'd therefore be tempted to delete the airstrip from OSM. Opinions about that?
