Are you trying to wind me up Treds !!! As far as Kenley is concerned the ATC are not active nor have been since 2014. What should be a highly productive VGS is moribund with the airfield now reduced in size and rapidly becoming a cycling track. If you look at the facebook pages all the talk is about closing gates, dog mess, and cyclist's running over walkers, nothing about ATC Gliding. With 2FTS as the Airfield guardians they have turned a proud Battle of Britain heritage site into a free for all for clashes between walkers and cyclists but no ATC Flying.
Allowing a fence to divide the listed original peri track was a crass decision from 2FTS, and has ruined a fine loction plus will make resumed operations even more difficult.
Yet another C...U.. from the desk of the prev CO head of Air Cadet gliding at Syerston.
