Saltby will accept powered aircraft but insist on telephone PPR, they were very friendly when I flew in. You also get a really scary view of Waltham on the Wolds TV mast, 1487' amsl when lined up on 25. It looks as if it must be on the upwind end of the runway but is actually about 2.5nm away! Also the Saltby runway is in surprisingly good nick considering it's of WW2 vintage.Langar is about equidistant from Melton and they'll accept visitors as well but again, you must ring for PPR and a briefing on the days parachuting activity. If there is a competion, (at Saltby), or a big parachuting day, (at Langar), they may well refuse you. I was under the impression that Exton had been returned to agriculture. Leicester is a bit of a way to travel. To the East there's Castle Bytham but I think it's getting a bit of a way away to be really practical.
