Our share aircraft (before my time in the group) used to be based at Netherthorpe. Wonderful, friendly little place. But often waterlogged, so much so that the group decided to move 15 miles to Gamston, where the a/c is hangared and based on a nice long tarmac runway.

Before I joined the Gamston group I used to rent from Netherthorpe. Last winter I had ten consecutive cancellations, half due to the weather on the day and the other half due to waterlogged runways on otherwise perfect flying days.
