From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
But when somewhere like Robindoncasterfinningleyhood Intergalactic Chavport tries to demand masses of Class D to suit its lo-cos, having decided to become the cuckoo in the local nest?

Busy GA areas are not just busy with the £100 bacon buttie brigade transiting from one place to another - there is as much need for GH areas etc for training, aerobatics and everything else the open FIR provides.

Being in RT contact with some minor airport radar controller for your flight is not going to be acceptable for many, some of whom don't have RT, let alone a transponder

'New' commercial airports should not think that, just because they want to fly a few oiks to Ibiza, or let fat cats fly in for the local races, that this gives them an immediate right to demand more airspace control.
