It is absolutely true. I have it on excellent authority - the person who will be paying the bills. I think it is the first time it has happened and PP has been to such places as Duxford, Halfpenny Green, Bruntingthorpe etc. Very sad, very sad indeed. When it was held at Old Warden the runway was unsuitable for some aircraft. They landed at Duxford and others ran a shuttle service to OW. No landing fees were charged at either airfield. Not only that, I and many other people like myself who had to fly in to one airfield and stay overnight were not charged either landing or overnight parking fees. Other organisations have either reduced or stopped their contributions so life is not easy for the organisers. My passenger has moved to the other end of the country so I won't be able to fly him in but I'm going to help on the ground. If anyone wants to contact PP this is the url for the website, or send me a pm.
