That's good to know about
: I fly from both Wycombe and Benson. I once tried to divert to Abingdon (last year) due wx... Brize controller said "OK"... and as it is a MIL field (army?) I figured he would know more about it than me: but it turned out that the airfield was unavailable as it was covered in people and (drag?) cars, so I couldn't land... managed to scoot into Kidlington.
Would be interested to learn more about how the airfield is generally used, etc. just for my "local" knowledge! Is it only used for gliding? What do MIL use the field for?
Its a shame there's not a plate in the Airfield section of the AIP (
http://www.ais.org.uk/aes/pubs/aip/html/aipad2.htm) as AIP ENR 5-5-1-1 (
http://www.ais.org.uk/aes/pubs/aip/pdf/enr/2050501.PDF) doesn't even give the frequency you provided!
Happy flying,
Andy
