Talking Swansea Airport

Went down to deepest Wales last weekend to visit the folks. Dropped into Swansea for the first time in ages. Very friendly and hepful people.

I asked if there was hangerage as I taxiied in but there was none available. As soon as I shut down, 2 chaps dragging very large & heavy concrete blocks complete with ropes came and tied the Auster down. Thanks lads.

They even reopened the buffet so I could have a coke. After booking in the lass behind the counter asked if I needed a taxi or hire car.

When I came to settle up they halved the £9 landing fee cos I'd taken fuel and charged £5.50 / night for the parking.

All in all well worth a visit especially as the airport is in the middle of the Gower peninsula with it's beatiful beaches.
