I would agree with you if the list would contain the names of Luton, Stanstead, Manchester etc. But this list contains airfields such as; Earls Colne, Exeter, Norwich,
Gloucestershire and Biggin Hill. Most of them owe their existence to the GA community. We are happy (well, not always) to pay there landing fees and spend our money with them every weekend, but when we are in a need I don’t think that it will be too difficult for them to be generous and waive the fees. It can happen that you, me or someone else will run short of fuel, where will you land, in an airfield that charges you the landing fees or the one that will waive them? I will be happy to buy my 370l of 100LL and put my money in the pocket of the one that waives the fees. This is not because the £10 or £15 makes a big difference, but because that airfield wants to encourages you and me to be safe and make the right decision. It is not a question of £10 or even £20, it is a stand about their morals and maybe, what they think about those who provide them with their livelihood. Last year my way was blocked by a thunderstorm. I have landed at Southend, stayed on the ground for nearly an hour and paid £35-£40 landing fees. I feel that I made the right decision, but there were other (two) a/c circling overheads. They also feel that they made the right decision because they saved the money and the storm went the other way, but what if this was not the case and the storm would come Southend way?
