I learnt to fly at Thruxton and reckon that it's the best airfield that i've been to regarding air traffic that has a/g only, better in fact than some places offering full a.t.c.! Don't bother with Boscombe if you are arriving low level from the north or east, especially on a Sunday. The reason that the circuit is unusually low, is because when downwind on rwy 25 (right) you could conflict with instrument traffic on final to Boscombe's westerly rwy. Take the advice and stick to the tarmac rwys, if possible.
