With you all the way Vere. The Poet has posted this message in a couple of locations, and whilst nobody should applaud if a GA airfield is in trouble, the fact remains that by no stretch of the imagination could Henstridge be called "financially viable".
Whilst there may be more to life than profit, that is not necessarily a view shared by those that want the bills paid.
Henstridge is nowhere near anywhere that large volumes of visitors would want to come to, and the quality of the taxiways is lamentable.
Nothing short of the arrival of a large, well-financed aviation business at Henstridge will give it a real future, and writing letters of protest will not make a material impact, I fear.
