Sad indeed. However I question whether Sandown, as an unlicensed aerodrome should be hosting the variety of fee paying 'experiences' that it regularly advertises across its social media and website. This month they are promoting operators who themselves are offering paid wing walking and pleasure flying experiences. Many of you will no doubt have seen that one of the airport owners regularly posts social media 'memes' of being anti-CAA, anti-rules, no high viz, no miserable people and puts a anatomical skeleton in front of the microphone when there is no human in the tower to answer a radio call. All fun and games until someone loses an eye, as the saying goes. The wider picture needs to be looked at here.
