Rufus Rob,

You're talking crap, and all because you tried to rip Duxford off, and thought people on this board would think how clever you were!

If you can afford to fly you can afford the landing fees.....
Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. I actualy drove to the museum at Bournemouth as I was in the area. The difference in landing fees, to my mind, is best put into flying hours, improving my skills, and making me safer, not lining the pockets of an airport authority.

For my 172 it's just under £35 to touch down at Bournemouth, before the mandatory handling fee is added on. Duxford is about £12. It was also pointed out by Pulse1 that Bournemouth is expensive for GA.

Grow up and act like the (responsible) pilot you should be.

NorthSouth - there's a slight difference in movements between Glasgow and Bournemouth - Glasgow being a fairly major interntional, Bournemouth wanting to be a major international, but with less than 10 movements during the two hours I was at the museum.

(edited to say "of which only one was a 737 - the rest was R22's / R44's and a Cessna 172")

By the way, this thread is about museums, not landing fee's (even though it was brought up in passing) let's return to the original topic and not suffer from thread drift.
