It's a shame Abingdon don't NOTAM their activity as do some of the other airfields in the vicinity ( e.g South Cerney, Little Rissington), though not necessarily all the time. I gained my licence nearby and never once found out Abingdon was active until ATC informed us as we approached. Hinton-in-the-Hedges is another 'offender', especially as it is on one of the instrument departures from Kidlington en route to DTY.
