I heartily agree with Philip Whiteman's post on the nature of the Old Warden main drag. Never mind the fillings, the last arrival I made on 22(?) detached my false teeth and quite spoiled my subsequent R/T. It really is bloody rough and I reckon has already done a deal of damage in the shape of the Comet though that is but speculation on my part. Our Skybolt snapped the tailwheel spring on a normal approach and touchdown about 18 months ago and that caused us a fair bit of expense and inconvenience. Visits now are usually by car since we are but 45 minutes away by road yet to get over to Leicester, get the 'bolt out of the hangar, book out, start up, taxy and depart then 20 minutes to OW, join circuit and land takes over twice as long and costs ten times as much.
