Military airfield landing fees
I was helping out (volunteering) instructing young soldiers on an ab initio course recently and wanted to fly into the airfield to save time commuting. The airfield has no facilities, no hard runway and is occasionally used for exercises. Previously it has been no problem if coming in for a valid reason, particularly if giving services to the military.
I was shocked that now I would be charged £30 landing fee, £20 parking fee (over 2 hours), £12 insurance plus VAT, so £75 for a PA28 landing on a grass field.
Naturally I drove instead but really p****d off that somebody has decided to make a profit centre using military assets. I bet the services don't see a penny of it.
Grumble over.
