Looking at the applicable legislation (ANO Article 94) being an unlicensed aerodrome and without an ATZ, Popham does not qualify as a "protected aerodrome" so my vote goes with at least a misleading statement, and requirements that they have not legal right to make.
Appreciate the intent to protect manned aircraft ops, website needs correcting.
Thank you, I'll go with that. More diplomatic than I would put it.
