AA
Mostly there on Sundays (I do hope it wasn't on a Sunday that SS experienced his 'incident') but if nothing else to conflict might be able to get there on a Saturday along with the camera ship etc. I can provide my phone and mobile details if you want to contact me off line (they exist elsewhere on the private forum but don't want to be accused of promoting free photo session).

If departing 06 you can see the approach quite clearly from the 'A' hold and if clear backtrack to 'C' for power checks then further to threshold for departure. If busy you can taxi all the way round the peri track to the 'C' hold but normally not required. Generally best not to block the 'A' hold for power checks because this stops aircraft from continuing taxi after landing to the club house. Can also be helpful to cross to 'B' hold if someone on approach. This then allows them to taxi back clearing the runway for you to back track. This is an uncontrolled airfield which relies on people being sensible and most of the time it works. Some people try and consider how best not to inconvenience other users (or indeed make it easier for them) some say sod it and do just what they want despite other users (and from my experience - trying to be unbiassed - this is more frequently visitors who simply don't think rather than based aircraft but as I have said before none of us are perfect).
I hope this hasn't put you off going there again because from personal experience there are some very helpful and friendly people at the airfield and I know of many who have benefitted from lots of freely given assistance from members who have put themselves out to aid other aviators with a problem. I certainly wouldn't want a controlled airfield environment as a replacement for this facility. Already perfectly safe activities which i have been practicing for years, and which I need to practice to satisfy the CAA, have been restricted. I don't want to find further restriction. In my book safe and considerate are the key requirements and as long as we have those we should be happy. I guess you had a bad day but come again and I will try and show you a different side of this rarity - a member owned airfield with limited restriction.
