Hmmm,

I think I would look much more kindly on this if the flying club buildings there had seen some sort of care on my last visit (some while ago). Dirty, smelly, and too typical of flying clubs in the UK whose owners have no concept of the sort of environment and services that people (rightly) expect nowadays. The runways were a disgrace.

Yes, there is pressure on land for development, but there's also responsibility on those running flying schools etc either to make them attractive, pleasant, and clean, or to shut up and move on. I know which I think the folk at Bourn should have done, and how long ago.

I do apologise. The truth hurts, but it may still be the truth.
