BN and the landlord cant agree the terms of a new lease so the landlord has taken back the field is currently unlicensed no radio and no fuel.
Only resident aircraft can fly and the field is closed to BN.
Also the facilities at Bembridge are pretty good and the landing fees not high compared to say goodwood and Shoram. It has full rt, landing lights, papi a good café a pub with 5 Min's walk with a good menu. It normally has fuel and the staff are always helpfull and polite what more do you need?????
I must correct IO540 on just about everything they have said, the Island has a highly skilled work force and a lot of hi tech business are based here which are doing very well. He is just about wrong on everything he said apart from the Island is a great place to visit. BN uses the runway most days and they need a licensed operation for their MOD contracts. I am not sure that a move to Lee would improve the situation and would almost certainly mean the end of Bembridge as we know it.
