Beware landing at Farnborough

Yesterday morning I was flying a Seneca light twin over a fog bound London. Destination was Fairoaks. Ok wishful thinking but approaching CPT I got an actual for Farnborough which was next door to Fairoaks.

Weather was 1500 metres overcast at 200 feet.

Asked for a weather diversion into Farnborough to be told that they would accept me but at a minumum charge of £360 for a 1999 kg seneca.

So pilots of GA beware flying in weather were you need an ILS.
