I have to agree with you that Elstree is not the most appealing places, I have also seen nicer places but Elstree is the only one left this side of London. To make the place better will require investment and above all planning permission that will not be granted as the council would be very happy to shut the place down.
Arrogance – Yes, we had it in large quantities. I don’t know when you have been to Elstree, my feeling is that the problem is now part of the past, that was my reason for not joining the Aeroclub for many years. Some of the less nicer residents left and since the circuit and the joining procedure were changed there are less incidence of pilot fighting each other to land.
A.T.C – There are 4 – 5 part time ATC (Information Service) that men the radio, all of them are very good, helpful and polite, one can be unpleasant at times and I don’t know why. Remove him from behind the mic. and you will have a most delightful chap. I know that he is trying to control his temper, sometime unsuccessfully.
Come in and I will be happy to meet you there, I hope that you will see it differently after your visit.
