Just come back from Sywell, the usual friendly welcome, parked up in the line of other a/c outside the hotel, had a lovely lunch and came home again. Excellent day, but very quiet!
There's loads of building work going on there; as you say, he does seem to be squeezing out all the smaller businesses - Northamptonshire School of Flying are finally off to Sibson, shame, but with all the investment, I can hardly think that anyone with half a business sense is serious about closing. We landed on the brand new 23, very flat and an excellent grass runway but the new surface is a little corrugated, apparently because of the way the surface was seeded. However, this should settle down quickly to a very nice surface. Mrs TOO paid the landing fee, £12, but then I paid for lunch, which was rather more...
Cheers,
