Thruxton closed

I have not been involved in racing for a few years, however I realised the Mini boys are racing at Thruxton on the 21st. Great I will fly in and say hello to a few old colleagues.

Me "Hello Thruxton I would like to fly in on the 21st"
Thruxton "Sorry we are closed that day"
Me "Why"
Thruxton "There is a race meeting on, and due to Health and Safety we are closed to fixed wing. Now if you are in a helicopter"
Me "No, it is a fixed wing"
Thruxton "In that case, you cannot fly in, sorry"

Soon Health and Safety will not let us fly at all, safer if we all walk.
I do not blame Thruxton, but it’s another good day out spoiled by bureaucrats telling us what to do.
