This instructor was to do his rating at Andrewsfield but went somewhere else because Andrewsfeld was in a mess during the winter a few years ago.

I took him into 600M of grass in the TB20 but I doubt if he will change his views on grass, the Idea of comming over the fence at 10ft and less than 60knots in a (lightly loaded) TB20 disturbed him. I know he told others that I was taking unnecessary risks flying into short grass airfields. (I never thought of 600M as being short).

His loss
