Welshpool
I recall a thread a few months back about Welshpool.
A chap who lives near Oswestry has applied for planning permission to operate King Air turboprop and Baron-type aircraft - 'for private use and in connection with his business/ 6 movements a day max - from an 800 metre grass strip in the Midlands.
I am not twin-rated but 800 metres does seem a bit short, especially in a crosswind/ wet grass etc.
I understand that he was or is associated with Welshpool.
Can anybody give me the inside track on this bloke, the reason for the move etc?
I am all for farm strips but this application suggests a serious commercial operation, perhaps with a future expansion agenda.
Can anybody point me to the originator of the Welshpool thread?
EMails eagerly awaited!
