Just a little note from a 'local' who lives close to Kemble. Notwithstanding all the understandable gripes about 'excess costs' - thanks to all those who flew in following all the laid down procedures. It was'nt a good weekend weather wise but I have plenty of neighbours who get hacked off by some of the goings on at Kemble especially by the Hunters - the PFA is not really a problem for the reasons expressed already. I believe that the airfield side of Kemble barely makes any money; hence high charges. The real profit from the site comes from the industrial leasing of hangarage etc.
Personally I remember the Halcyon days at Sywell in years gone by - no tarmac of course but a genuine pre-war airfield which has gone an art-deco transformation over the past few years. Maybe the PFA will reconsider a return to Northamptonshire as long as it does not coincide with the Grand Prix of course !
