I agree; I prefer ATC, myself. I find the hardest airfields to visit are ones like Stapleford or Wellesbourne, where on a nice Sunday it's a total free for all and one wonders if anybody (including the instructors) actually have a PPL.
Obviously the locals there think it's great and they wouldn't have it any other way.
I was just reminding that we could have GPS approaches right now, but nobody wants to pay for the process which the CAA has put in the way.
