Hey folks,
Thanks for the useful information. I'll certainly check headcorn out - my wife used to jump out of perfectly good planes there (before she met me, I'll add). I've only been to the area once, to feed big cats at WHF, but the airspace was busy with R22's, skydivers, PPL flyers etc - well, it was a brilliant sunny day straight after a winter of cr4p.
I'll also check Redhill and Rochester out.
In response to Rod1, no commercial aspirations for me. I'm only just on the wrinkle-free side of 40 and have hungry mouths to feed. I just want to get my PPL to scratch an itch that's been there for 20 years, wait for an old relative to pop their clogs, then buy a Vans RV6 for coastline flights and trips to France!
Again, apologies to the original poster for somewhat of a thread hijack, but hopefully you're getting as much useful info as I am!
