If the Press have it right that's great news.
Police want to ban all flights from the airfield aside from their spotter plane and the coastguard's helicopter, because they say the site is not safe as it has no air traffic control and no dedicated fire fighting service.

However last night the force agreed to postpone the ban while talks continue between them, the Lee Flying Association, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, and the South East England Development Agency.

Cllr Woodward, said: "I'm very pleased and at least this gives us some space to work out how flying can continue from the airfield in the long term."
The AOPA UK representatives working with Lee Flying Association look forward to working with all the parties concerned.
