Hmm, actually if you look at the number of incidents per movements you find that Welshpool has a lower rate than Halfpenny Green, Shobdon and Sleap. People forget that although the place is small and new it was extremely busy.
It is true that one employee took them to court for wrongful dismissal but that ain't bad given they must have hired at least 60 instructors over the years. Pool aviation started many peoples flying careers and they were the cheapest in the land. They also gave UK GA a bi-annual Air Race and Aerobatics competition. Whilst their owner might not win any personality awards he paid me on time and treated me fairly when I dropped the occassional testicle.
One can only hope that UK General Aviation has not effectively lost yet another little airfield.
