A few memories from CVT
Had a meal in the DC6 Diner one December which was a novelty, landed on runway 23 as a passenger during a trial lesson in 2015, the two most noticeable aspects were how short the flight was at 20 minutes and how cramped the Grob is, young lad piloting it was well over 6ft and could barely see out over his knees
. Then in my younger days getting the train and bus over to CVT and having to walk the last mile or two to get to the airfield. I think I did drive once to see the Thomsonfly operation but haven't been for years.
Always sad to see an airfield go but these last few years it was a shadow of itself.
