I'm a member of Halton microlight club. First off, it's an RAF airfield - ok, it's not a fast jet base, but it is still a Government airfield. Second, it's very busy; you'll get GA, microlights, powered gliders and unpowered gliders (plus winches and aerotows) all operating at the same time, with different circuit rules. Unless you've had in-depth briefings (about joining at the VRPs and waiting your turn), I'd advise to stay away. Cheddington - been over it many times, but never in to it.

PS - check NOTAMs; there are regular flypasts for passing-out parades that close the airfield temporarily.
