Like everyone else I am saddened to hear this. I have also heard that its decline was due to mis-management and it should not have lasted as long as it should have. I just hope that nothing else at Aldergrove goes to the pan. At the moment it has lost alot with regards to BA pulling out and BMI running a reduced service. Damn fine place to fly into and out of. Helpful ATC. Big long runways. Watch out for the helicopters, Gazzelles and R22s can be hard to spot. Mind you slightly biased done my PPL there.
Cleared take off 35, leave zone to north west not above 2000ft VFR. Happy Days!!!!!!!
