""Hmm, again in defence of Elstree, pretty challenging environment to fly in. Short field....""
You think this is short??? You should try Netherthorpe, or some of the Shetland/Orkney strips! Thats short......
Shortest i ever landed on was a private strip @ 147m. But it was in the best all rounder ever.....Piper Super Cub.
