Surely, if your going to have an EFATO, 26 at Compton is the place to have one. Many years ago I practiced one in a Tiger Moth (really it was an excuse to dive down that valley, naughty but nice). Wouldn't do it now though, although I have recently seen a Luscombe doing far worse things than that - like diving down to the village below the ridge (Melbury Abbas?) and then zooming up the ridge to reappear over the field. I wouldn't think that that sort of flying endears the airfield to it's neighbours.
