Squawk 8888 - way-to-go! Couldn't agree more. BTW, I went to Blackbushe last year to see if it would be worth my while commuting in there from 'oop north' since I work in the west of London. The duty ATC bod was a miserable b*stard: he couldn't have cared less about what I was looking for - the landing fee and parking fees were declared and that was that - are you still here....
I vowed then and there never to go back - and I won't.
Denham is a nice airfield apparently run by a pretty fierce lady who keeps an eye on proceedings from her house on the perimeter. Woe betide you if you do a low circuit or try taking off when the cloud's too low. They are VMC only; no cafe (although the Biggles Restaurant is OK for formal eats)but you can walk to the station and be in central London in 40 minutes. The new ATC regime however has caught Blackbu!!!!is - come back Nick, all is forgiven!
