As you well know with your long association with Service Flying Club activity, selling off spare capacity comes with many issues. Not least the Charties Commission requirement to have at leat 51% Full Membership (Regulars and some Reserves) and 49% Associate Membership (Dependents, Contractors, some Reserves, ATC and some civvy enablers) - opening the doors to the so-called "local Great Unwashed" would not be in the spirit of the Charity status of most Service Sports Assocs and Clubs. It also comes with a security burden. An accounting burden (ie. The encroachment is an agreement where no profit for another organisation is being generated from the use of Service infrastructure). Etc...

It's a great idea but within the Service regulations it just can't happen without unravelling a can of worms!
