The friendliest airfield??
Flew into Compton today, beautiful weather, had a good lunch in the sunshine, watching the Tiger Moth giving joy rides. There were lots of people, mostly non-aviators eating and drinking and just watching the aircraft. what a good business model for a restaurant.
Then some bloke who obviously has an official hat got on the tannoy to tell two delightful and well behaved kids to stop climbing on the railings."For your safety" he proclaimed. He had, of course, to repeat himself a few minutes later we thought because he likes the sound of his hat.
Come on, whoever runs Compton Abbas, lighten up...next thing the man with the hat will be on the tannoy insisting we all wear high vis jackets and steel toed boots before we can walk back to our aircraft. It didn't quite fit with the world's friendliest airfield image you want to project.
