I stayed at the camp site adjoining the airfield a couple of weeks ago. Luckily the weather was pleasant and there where quite a few aircraft movements over the weekend period
. On our last weekend a couple of tiger moths arrived. The plan was to have more but unfortunately the weather on the mainland scuppered attempts by some of the participants. One of the moths was G-ANEZ. They both provided a pleasant surprise and nice end to our holiday - thanks chaps
.
Speaking to the woman who runs the cafe she said the airfield was split up and various sections owned by differnet people/organisations. Apparently Mr David Mellor (ex MP?) is in cahoots with a developer and wants to build houses. Maybe some second homes for MPs!
There are also other plans to build a hotel/restuarant on the old cafe site. Guys in the tower are still adamant it will remain an airfield. Hopefully they are correct. All I can do is wish them luck with the airfield in the future.
