Went to Bembridge on Sunday.

My friend was flying, apparently the standard is an OHJ, but at 1000ft over & in the direction of the active runway.

There was gliding but on the dead side of 012.

There is a pub that you can go to, next to the field, on the gliding side. Food average but take your own knives, more blunt than the ideal airline knife.

About 20 ACs there around lunch.

Flying from & to Shoreham was excitingly active, including all the Goodwood traffic.

Also saw the transatlantic homebuilt N173RG in Shoreham, a sleek piece of kit, mmmmmmmmmm.
