The good news is that Bembridge is now open. The bad news is that it is operated by the glider people and the landing fee for helis is £30. Last time a glider landed in my fields (ran out of air or something) he got a free landing, a free lunch, an offer of a lift and help to de-rig. I wonder if the next one will be extended the same courtesy!!

I wonder if they've priced themselves out of the [rotary] market?
What's the fuel situation?

What is good about £30! for rotary any size, Support Sandown friendly people, food, ground radio, not far from the sea
