PZ Heliport
The Heliport was built on the 'reclaimed' town rubbish tip and indeed still looked like a building site. Interestingly there is still a windsock flying at the location although it is attached to a Sainsbury supermarket. Proposed 'New' Heliport is east of the original site and 250 yards to the north, and bordered by a substantial retail park. When calling them on the old 118.1 freq it was not unusual to hear chat from French airfields quite some distance away. Happy days and a disgraceful waste of a transport facility that had served the area well for over 40 years, plus was in a perfect location with an excellent weather factor.
