I wish my airfield was 30 miles (or less) away. I travel double that.
I know a lot of people that live on the island fly out of Popham. Thats a realy lively place with shares availabe in LAA, touring and aerobatic types available.
I have a good freind that lives on the island based at sandown. I'll send you his contact no if you want.( subject to his permission of course ).
