Sandown and Lee on Solent

I flew in to Sandown today and all was well (except no fuel). Nice mug of tea and a slice of cake.

I also went to Lee on Solent which is now pretty much fully functioning as a 'normal' airfield. They do have fuel (by arrangement with Paul Copin). The only downside is there is no cafe or anything much else to do on the airfield. I understand there is a medium term plan to address this. All the old business about PPR and Crown Indemnity insurance has evaporated. Just call them up on the radio. The frequency is even on the CAA chart.

Best of all, the Tigers junior motorcycle team was back in action on the field.

Sadly, Bembridge appeared to be deserted. Not a single aircraft to be seen.
