EGHI

I am not sure that the two schools at Southampton are under notice to quit.

What I do know is that the costs of operating a flying school there have risen to the extent that its difficult for a school to stay in profit, and with all the extra traffic now from Flybe at EGHI it is also very expensive for the student! Time waiting at the hold, orbiting etc.

My original school Carill Aviation is re- locating to Lee-On-Solent at the end of this month. It has a good runway, is bit more exposed generally weatherwise and we will have to mix with glider traffic etc. The PPL club are looking forward to the move.

This morning I noticed that Southampton would have been flyable but Lee definitely would not - thick fog!! so we will just have to wait and see.
