actually my dear chap I live 300m from the threshold. There are 15 based Group A aircraft and 2 helicoptors as well as around 60 microlights. The airfield has an A/G frequency and is definatley not disused.
What sane pilot practices aeros in someone elses overhead without permission (and I can assure you he does not have permission!)?
My neighbours originally fought against the aerdrome licence until they were made aware that an ATZ will keep him out and now they can't do enough to support it.
Hardly good advertising for him is it?
