Wholeheartedly recommend Compton as a destination - even if you're not flying, it's got a great atmosphere and usually plenty of activity. If the wind's gusty and from a northerly sector, one does have to be a bit cautious of rotor / curl which can leave you suddenly lacking lift on one side at quite crucial stages of the approach / take off!!
Evo This wasn't an engine failure after accident, but a Cessna seat pin which wasn't fully engaged and the seat was dislodged on climbout with fatal effect.

This guy was quite lucky and
almost made it back to the airfield!

This guy was quite lucky and was on 08 when his donk quit!

08 approach / 26 climbout also has some very extreme human factors implications (for those who don't know, Compton Abbas is on a high ridge with a deep valley to the west which falls away very sharply). For a low hours PPL to judge the approach / climb out is quite challenging due to the lack of ground reference.
