Exclamation Fuel Bandits !

Had my plane at Netherthorpe last week to have some work done. Whilst there, some chaps I'd like to spend 5 mins alone with crept onto the airfield overnight and relieved me, and several others, of the entire contents of our fuel tanks - about £170's worth in my case ... worse, they left the fuel caps off as well, setting all those involved up for a worrying "test for water then first flight after" session.

Lovely airfield, excellent folk running it and working there ... but no security, like a lot of places, I'd imagine. If you're planning an overnight there, might be wise to go in without full tanks !
