Hello all.
I'm currently training for an ATPL in Jerez (Spain), but am looking forward to doing some light a/c flying too when I get back to the UK (started ab initio here, so don't have experience of flying in the UK yet).
I've got lots of family in a village called Orford, on the East Coast of Suffolk, and so would obviously like, at some point, to head over that way and do some flying. Only problem is that from the looks of it (based on my 1:half mil VFR map) there ain't a lot there. Woodbridge and Bentwaters are ex-USAF bases, and I guess I couldn't use them. Beccles seems to be about the only licenced airfield listed in Suffolk - that's a bit of a trek - I guess I'm therefore looking for the smaller strips, perhaps privately operated.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I might be able to find a list of good airfields in this sort of area?
Thanks in advance for any help
