Wink Visit Sheffield

I flew to Sheffield City Airport yesterday, in a PA28 (SE). In the context of previous threads about Sheffield (SE previously not allowed, unclear ATC etc), I just wanted to say:

Great approach (from the M1/M18 VRP), with superb views of the city and the moors to the west

Great runway

Great service (ie. phoning, directions to local restaurants, PPR etc)

Landing fees ok (£11)

A/G Radio - clear and helpful (and patient!)

One of the biggest shopping centres in the UK (Meadowhall) and restaurants etc ('Centretainment') 10 mins away.

Worth visiting just because it is one of the few 'in-city' airfields that is open to GA.

I'll definitely be going back.
