I went this week

The new owners seem to be happy to keep the strip operational, but it's clearly secondary to golf and short break holidays. That said, the landing fee is now £10, not £20. Camping under the wing is allowed, even encouraged. The leisure centre is available for use, and then the best bit.

Lunch is FANTASTIC. Forget your greasy spoon caffs, this is proper Masterchef, but without the silly price tag.

Anyone contemplating flying in or out should be comfortable with strip flying. It's not so short as to need brakes, but you don't want to waste the runway. On 07 they want you to do a curved (Spitfire) approach, and having seen someone do the straight in version over the barn roof I can see why.

Get your landing plates from the web, older books will be out of date. The runway orientation has changed significantly.

This place is now my most favourite destination.
