As an old timer,who flew DC3/Viscounts and BAC111 into Bristol ,it always was a B/awful airport and although since my time, they now have radio aids and a posh terminal building,it has not changed my opinion.In my day 09 was either eyeball/radar or if you dared QDM approach.For the DC3 there was always the option of the grass R/W[that ran from the end of the old terminal apron toward what is now the flying club area something like 20-21.If you look in the grass you might even find a rut where I once planted the Dak on a dark and windy night
