Henstridge is just down the road (not sure about the organic food there though).


Apart from the merits and demerits of the argument, I think that the implied criticism of Henstridge by the Compton Abbas management is unprofessional.

Henstridge doesn't pretend to be a gastronome's airfield.

And the implication that Henstridge will simply take anybody who's booted out of Compton Abbas is demeaning and unprofessional - the implication being that Henstridge is begging for customers and Compton Abbas is beating them off with a big stick.

I am not impressed by that particular implication by CA's management.

For the record: Henstridge has hangarage, a maintenance firm, food, a hard runway, the Yak display team, the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and is very friendly without having delusions of grandeur. Fuel price is reasonably OK as well.

I am not based at EGHS and just fly in now and again.
