The Airfield is owned by the MOD. The hangers are managed by Devonair. Great place to store and aircraft etc. and I have had no problems with them. In fact very friendly people at Devonair.

However as for getting Gyro advice or maintenance carried out I found it very difficult if not impossible. The communication skills I have found seriously lacking. I am not referring to Devonair in this paragraph.

I look at it this way. If I am to get any maintenance or flying training carried out I need to address this question. "If they cant be bothered to communicate when they are probably looking to build up their gyro business and community, how will they behave when there is an enquiry regarding some issue or comeback?"

A gyro "manufacturer" not a million miles from LR has refused to communicate with me, when I would, in all probability have bought one of his machines.

After very close to 40 years of professional aviation trying to get back to basic fun flying I am at a loss as to my treatment and have never been blocked or "fixed" to this extent. If they actually grew some bs and told me what the problem was I would have some sort of understanding and not reduced to posting on a public website.
