Took at trip to Mawgan this weekend - Mawgan as it seems to be known locally. Very friendly, and very helpful. The charges however came as a bit of a surprise which are at the top end, made worse by the passenger handling charge and parking fees. No problem with the Avgas. There are four commercial flights in a day on the Gatwick, Exeter, Mawgan circuit. They seem to like you to avoid returning to the aircraft whilst they are dealing with these flights and are determined to put "you" through the X-ray screen. Check you have an MOD waiver or pay another fee. For others interested a good point from which to visit the Eden project about half an hour by car, with car hire easy to arrange from the airport. Consider as an alternative Bodmin, which also seemed very friendly and significantly less expensive subject to your acceptance of a much shorter grass runway. Nice bit of kit at Mawgan though to keep the old hand in with the ILS and a PAR talk down both on offer and in inbound LARS service after hand off from Exeter if you are routing along the coast.
