Try halton

Steve

Whilst I can see what AV8 is driving at I find AV8s view of Halton a little at odds with my own expierience of Halton.


Yes the gliders and air cadets operate out of there and this can put restrictions on circuits depending on what stage they are at in training. Same as any other Military airfield, they have a mission (gliders & air cadets training) and that obviously comes way above accommodating GA aircraft, but as some one who regularly flies out of there we all rub along reasonably well. Give them a call......

PS
The guy who ran ops has moved on.
The noise issue is managed satisfactorily at club & station level.
The grass strips are well maintained plenty long enough & wide too.
Ring for PPR as soon as you can, ops is a one man show & can be difficult to catch.
