C&B,
Exeter still has very reasonable landing fees (£7.50 single, £12 twin) and a considerable amount of private flying taking place, though most of the light a/c are PPL, CPL or IR training (I think).
I agree with you about Plymouth though. Landings are about £20 for a single. Security aren't very GA friendly either. Last time I asked if I could go onto the apron to fly my aeroplane home, they asked why! Because they have a few Dash 8's in and out every day, suddenly they're Heathrow! Phoning up to book in, I was told they were going to be quite busy as a commercial flight was due in, and asked if I was sure I wanted to come!
