A lot of small airfields are pretty dead during the week at this time of year. Welshpool was buzzing last summer, and probably will be again as soon as the weather picks up. They have a big ad for instructors in the latest copy of Flyer, and they must need them for a reason.
Things there are a lot better than when Pool Aviation ran the place, attracting people through low prices, but cutting corners to an unacceptable extent - and putting it that way is being kind. And no, I won't go into detail - that was all a long time ago, and is best allowed to die a natural death. But any nostalgia for the old days at Welshpool is definitely misplaced..
