Hi
Why would Peel want to reduce the number of based aircraft? Peel are replacing what is basically a worn out corregated iron hangar with a brand new, bigger one. Sure they might charge more, but you dont get something for nothing!
Too many people at Barton seem to be hanging on to the concept of 'grass roots' flying - is this really compatiable with what is the 5th busiest airfield in the UK? I hope Peel will continue to bring investment which LAC members can benefit from - I'd gladly pay more for a first class airfield with hard runway, nav aids etc
