If this is true, it's a shame that there is no longer a viable flying club at Cardiff as it's a great location to learn and fly from.

There has been a history of clubs going bust there and I'm not surprised if CAA are going the same way. I think that CWL management would rather not have any light aircraft getting in the way of their "busy" commercial ops.

Having said that, I've popped into CAA a couple of times since it's formation and I've never felt so unwelcome - if they're on the way down, I've no sympathy. And why anyone would go anywhere near them for commercial training beggars belief.
