Bose-X I am really sorry you have had a bad time with Sywell in the past, and by the sound of it won't be using the new runway too often - in my original post I was sticking to the "speak as you find" principle.
I trained at Sywell and still fly from there (SFH from Sloanes); and everyone at the airfield - and in The Aviator - have been nothing but brilliant to me; especially Mr. Bell (although we have never met formally).
Putting your issues with Sywell / theres with you aside, this news is a very rare good news story for GA generally and especially for Sywell - I am sure on that we can at least agree.
Lets hope it sets is the start of some more sensible thinking from those responsible for our planning laws!
