Sorry for any misunderstanding of my post which was NOT intended to be a criticism of any ATC authority but referring to air traffic control among pilots and their aircraft. It was the first time I had flown anywhere near that airfield and the impression gained from the mass of jumbled aircraft flying in all or any direction was reminiscent of a mass bees around a honey pot . I may just have picked a bad day but nevertheless made a mental note to keep well clear of flying in that area in the future. Things may be different and greatly improved today but that was my experience years ago. My apologies for upsetting those concerned.
