I can understand what they're doing and why. I won't fly in.
I well remember my first and only visit by air which was, I think in '58 or '59, with a fellow DH apprentice who had a licence and flew from Panshangar. We went to the Whitsun race meeting in a Tiger (Moth) not Grumman!
Straight across the middle of London, a circuit of the Crystal Palace TV mast and onwards to Goodwood. No landing fee, no entrance fee, walked straight into the paddock and watched the racing from the "members" enclosure! Had our picnic and after tea flew home.
That's perhaps why they charge by the seat today!
