Dave G says that.... "Then of course the Naval Gliding Club, who I imagine are currently laughing smugly as they get 10.00 a.m. - 5 pm. on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday as sole users, will suddenly get something to cough about."
As someone close to the Gliding community onsite, and to a number of our GA friends there, this assumption is WHOLLY inaccurate. Gliding and GA have co-existed safely, and in co-operation at Lee for some 50 years. You will find no-one in the Gliding community there who is not happy for that to continue as it was before the restrictions were imposed some months ago. Let's not play into the hands of the airfield management who appear to want to drive a wedge, by the very nature/format of their ongoing decisions.
