Hi all,
A heads-up to anyone that's flown into Blackpool over the last six months or so and paid their landing fee to Fly Blackpool instead of to the girls at the Flight Operations centre. According to a letter of explanation I received today from the Airport, it appears that landing fees and other charges may not have been making their way to the Airport. As a result, under the Civil Aviation Act 1982, aircraft like mine today are being impounded when they next turn up at Blackpool until such time as the charges are cleared. It would be worth checking with the Airport's Corporate Affairs Manager, Susan Kendrick, whether you're on the list of target aircraft. It was not a short list.
Cheers, etc.
