A bit off topic, but how hard is it for a person in the UK to open a private airfield like the one in the link
Very....It should be relatively simple, but.....

NIMBYS, planning in local council, 28 day rule ( not sure if this is still in force mind you), access, when you go try and get an appropriate piece of land, well lots of natural restrictions arrive out of no where. Drainage, trees, wind turbines, a willing farmer, who will make more out of a wind turbine installation

the list goes on, but, there are small jewels who have broken through, and if sought out, are superb to fly into. I have been looking for a long time for a suitable venue, and nothing has ever come up. That made any financial sense
