Beach Landings
It's now a VERY long time ago since I was a tiny sprog, but the first aircraft I ever took to the air in was an Auster which was operatiing pleasure flights from the beach at Southport, Lancashire.
Famous for the huge distance from the land across the beach to the sea, there was plenty of room to avoid chopping up pedestrians but I can't see the elfin safe tea people being happy with it these days!
