Is Glenforsa open again? We've been planning a trip for a while but it still says the following on their website:

Glenforsa Airfield - Flight Information

'Due to the vulnerability of damage to the runway surface, Glenforsa will be closed to all fixed wing aircraft until the winter has passed. An inspection will be carried out in January 2009 with a view to deciding to allow use from February 2009. This may be inconvenient to some, but not as inconvenient as the damage that was caused last year which was only repaired fully in May. This action will prevent a repeat of last year and the associated costs involved.

Both windsleeves have been taken down and will be set up when the airfield is ready to accept aircraft again. The agricultural lease allows for sheep to be on the airfield every day right through until end of March therefore anybody over flying Glenforsa should not do so at low level'
