Only going by the web site and recent comms with them.
I think the turb team have another base,but that may only be a temp arrangement.
Redhill was an 'unreal' heaven that was never going to be repeated.
I was lucky; i experienced the ATC Gliding at its peak at Kenley, and then found its powered equivalent at Redhill.
Quick tale (nearly the norm)
Comper is forging along 'just' outside the Gatwick zone on its way back from Shoreham display 500ft 'ish'.When about 5 miles from RH my oily goggle vista is broken by a certain Mk9 Spitfire that flashes past and then curves around to come up behind. Extra power is rung up to the Pobjoy and the speed increased to 120 ish as i see the Spit coming up in the reflection of the instruments.
Williams tucks in alongside with flaps down and canopy back and i go to 95% so he can reduce the flap.With RH in sight i motion 'down' and alter course to go past the tower and TC hangar.Seconds later the Comper Spit duo run past and break into the circuit.Heaven cant be better than that. PC
