It's a shame that you and your like cannot accept that any business has to be viable 365 days a year, not just the few good weather days which you choose to grace them with your presence.

Swansea tried, swallowed large amounts of rate payers and Euro cash, yet it has proved to be incapable of the investment of any commercial enterprise.

That is and will be the case with many airfields throughout the UK purely because the customers they may (or may not) have during the Summer, will not support them through the Autumn, Spring and Winter - if they do survive, it's down to subsidies from the people who own the airfields to keep refuelling and cafes open.
