Pitts, it has been taken over by Maher Properties (apparently the same group which now owns Blackpool) who are trying to improve the place. They were aware that Wolverhampton International Business Airport was not the most popular of names and that many people preferred the old RAF "Halfpenny Green" title. New owners - new name. The cafe is MUCH improved - many of us who decided about a year ago that the preservation of our health was more important than patronising the cafe have since returned in force. The food is all homemade by Angie and is reasonably priced. As far as I know the landing fee for a single is still £10. We have friendly, helpful FISOs and you can still refuel - although it is advisable to mention this on landing as the refuellers are also the firecrew who may need to do other things. The locals also seem to be reasonably friendly too.

I wouldn't be able to find ANYWHERE VFR these days
Isn't that why you have a student or several to fly you around? You keep watching the instruments and let the student worry about whether you have reached the correct destination.
Thanks for the welcome back, it's good to be back again.
