There was the tragic aviation accident which killed Bob Jones. Bob very much lived,loved and breathed the place and I know his wife took over.
I have been out of the loop there for some time. It was successfully run by another operator before and used to be very busy with loads of resident students getting probably the cheapest PPL courses in the land. Back then it also had a very good maintenance unit but all that went after a dispute and Bob Took over but on a much lower scale.

It will be very sad if no one takes it on as Welshpool is one of the prettiest airfields around
