Here Here SSD !!
I love the convienience & the atmosphere, the changes were inevitable & progress & Investment should not be shunned !
Although this "members only" for the Clubhouse In my view is not good.
Let Family's come and enjoy Aviation it creates dreams for young kids , so what if they buy a drink and a meal in the clubhouse !
As a Young Aviation Mad Kid I used to ride up to Barton Spotting ! and watch the pilots just jump in their planes and go ! ( I think Ginj was with us on occasions!)
I flew from Manchester Airport as well many times! and really enjoyed it , but it is a whole different ball game than Barton ! Can't knock it though I loved flying from Manchester just as much as I love flying from Barton.
As SSD said just to turn up and go for a Bimble one evening with very little restriction is priceless ! I did exactly that last night !
