I've been to Panshanger quite a few times recently, visiting a friend nearby, and with the exception of the person on the radio demanding an overhead join apparently just for the fun of it, I have found them very helpful.
They are doing the place up a bit, which is a rare sight in GA anywhere, and I hope they succeed.
Re what EL SID writes, I am afraid that is common in the GA instructing scene. Loads of male instructors have made passes at female students, often successfully, occassionally with the success being evidenced 9 months later
and some clearly do regard this as a perk. Very occassionally the line gets crossed where a young gullible female student gets free lessons. But driving instructors do the same, given half a chance and a female student that appears willing. I am not really into political correctness but the GA business attracts certain types that behave in certain ways, and most women wouldn't climb into a C150 if you paid them for it, anyway.
