Cheers,
I wanted to say that although my input would mean little to those involved in the airports future – that the destruction of small handy airfields everywhere is grist for the banking mill. Obviously it means more in crowded Europe than over here but the money tigers grown fiercely here.
I took great pains to lambaste the North Weald area mandarins really because my squadron spent some time there during the Battle of Britain and I felt history reigned in that case. On Sandown perhaps there is less cause unless the Watson Watt’s radar posts were maintained by use of Sandown.
My nephew brought me back from Cranfield in his ultralight, to settle serenely onto the turf at Sandown. I was immediately warmed to think it very much mirrored the atmosphere at a myriad of “Mom ‘n Pop” airfields so preferred in the States. An immaculate grass field, a few buildings, a warm handshake and a drop of fuel. These are the marks of a pleasant cross-country odyssey and Sandown is one of these.
May it flourish rather than become another victim of faulty logic.

Hi
I landed at Bembridge the other day 12.50 up from 7.50 a few months ago. It would seem that the lack of 2 airfields on the island is going to effect the cost as one would expect.
