True but he has a point about the cables and other obstructions. When I learned to fly at Welshpool in 2001 Rednal was pointed out as 'major emergencies only, otherwise assume it's closed. Watch out for wires.' Sounds like that's still the case.
On my PPL test I dug myself a hole by saying idly to the examiner 'Oh look, there's Rednal' when it was actually Montford Bridge. As he pointed out in the debrief if I'd kept my mouth shut he wouldn't have known I was temporarily confused!
