Really sad that the management are apparently unable to visualise the potential in such a site. This is particularly so now that Bournemouth and Southampton clearly feel they have outgrown the need and no longer encourage private/small business traffic. So few aerodromes along the South coast now available to us.
My knowledge stems from the glory days when HMS Daedalus was the Headquarters of the Fleet Air Arm. What a place then and what a history.
I've wanted to go back in the past just to look around again. Not only was I not allowed to fly in but, when I drove up to the gates recently, I was politely informed that, unless I was associated with the developers, there was no way I could be allowed in. Even Chiv allowed me to fly in recently, courtesy of the open-minded RM CO.
Any ideas anybody ?
