I think we'll have to agree to disagree, Rod1
Our mid-range airfield - one of the few really keen GA-friendly ones - is being besieged by strip flyers looking for accommodation for the winter due to waterlogging.
It is thanks to a very beneficial owner taking some very hard knocks from various governmental agencies (Ofcom is on the horizon too) the airfield is there for all of us.
We have had a number of fly-ins at the airfield (and I have seen you at some of them). Each time the airfield was very busy but the income was hardly worthwhile opening up for, as everyone brought along a free landing voucher and bought no fuel, despite it being one of the cheapest in the country.
But if people only dip in as and when and only buy the occasional butty, then one day the owners will chuck it in and hand the airfield over to a developer (as some strip owners have done, as well)
