Kenley is a great place to visit particularly on a summer's day; I was up there on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, no gliding for some reason. 615 fly on Saturday and Sunday and I assume bank holidays; Surrey Hills fly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, - on Monday and Friday you can wander inside the recently installed safety fence (erected to keep the less intelligent members of society from being beheaded by steel cables) and down the runways. Many of the revetments remain and the wall of the firing range is still present hidden in the trees on the southern boundary. Should the MoD give up the airfield it has to return to City of London Commons for public use.

One of my favourite books - first read it when I was about 7!
