I thought it had been out for awhile, everytime I went past it was radiating TST and now it has gone silent. Did the NDB procedure yesterday as a direct arrival from DTY. Keeps you focused!
I do hope they get the ILS sorted soon.
Vintage: In answer to your question, I am happy at around £5-7 for a basic grass airfield and around £12-15 at a decent airfield with hard runway and an approach. When taking the twin in I expect to pay a little more. As an example, Guernsey is a regular destination for me and a weekends landing, parking and using the ILS rarely costs me more than 20 quid. Guernsey is a truly fantastic field.
I paid around a tenner (need to dig out the reciept) for my last landing at Coventry which is based on A/C weight. I think that for the facilities there it is very good value for money.
It is when you turn upto places like cranfield that has little to offer and pay close on £20 in a single that I don't think it is a fair fee. I took the twin there recently and got hammered for 40 quid!
