Barton - Ops normal?

Was it not 31st March that the LAC gave up leases, control, operations etc. to Peel Airports?

Didn't hear any claps of thunder. Just wondered if 50+ years of history went without comment

There was much dissent from the commitee etc etc but LAC as a flying club remains , the clubhouse I believe is now a RVR affair but nothing has changed really in the grand scheme of things with the exception of getting a nice cup tea and a bacon sarnie but im sure that will all change its still a busy little airport, and wash your mouth out , its city airport manchester if you please , halfpenny green all over again methinks

I flew out on the 31st March. No big difference. Some chaps were hanging up a "LAC Flying School" banner near the main road. Found a new "LAC Flying School" board up near the entrance to the car park (and a Ravenair one flattened on the ground..). Clubhouse is closed for now until Ravenair re-open it.

The chaps (and ladies) in the tower as professional as ever.

New landing contract £275+vat unlimited landings and touch & goes (excludes PPL students), and free parking.

It must be one of the few airports without the word "airport" at the end of its name.
