I can understand how unfair it is to be paying these huge fees in the UK as you may as well replace the "Great" in Britain with "Rip Off." For years aviation has been made accessable in the USA, whilst over here every authority throws a spanner in the works at every turn. I'm sure this country will start moving backwards if it progressed any slower. This said however, I and many collegues are so weary of sitting at holding points burning 500 odd kilos an hour, waiting for puddle jumpers to land at International airports. I can understand if they were flying in, but the majority of times it's for touch and go's. I can't understand why ATC let this continue. Common sence tells me to ask the light aircraft make a right/left orbit in circuit and the heavy traffic expedite their departure.
