True, but Kidlington seems hell-bent on pursuing the business jet market, spending ££££ on upgrades (which are lovely, I agree) like the ILS and strengthened runway - and currently taxiways and parking, I believe - so I am nervous about the future. As I usually fly on weekdays, it's also rather pricey - especially if they are only seeing 50 movements a day. Admittedly it's so close (I used to fly at PFT!) that I don't use it much, unless I need an NDB approach for currency reasons.

And what's with moving the pilot shop from the airfield - where visiting pilots could shop - to the industrial estate half a mile away?!
