cumulusrider. Sorry, but I really don't accept your arguments. There are many very busy airfields around the country which mix some combination of gliders, microlights, fixed wing singles and twins, parachutists, helicopters.... It really isn't hard to do. The fact is, Lasham has always been quite clear in it's collective mind that it simply doesn't want powered not there on gliding business, and will continue to arrange things to ensure that.
