Turweston
I am living over here in the UK for a while, and have currently flown out of Booker, and Cranfield. I have recently learnt about Turweston (I knew there was I reason I should have picked up my own chart earlier). I am just looking to do some smash and goes around the circuit to keep my foot in the door, before I go home for christmas (I get to do plenty of fly there!).
Any suggestions of a club at Turweston? And a phone number would be a great help too!
Thanks!

......plus the best aeroplane paint shop in the UK!! I've had all 4 of my ac repainted there (or earlier at Spanhoe) and the quality is superb. Flew past Turweston today - friendly A/G operator most professional! If you go to Turweston (very handy for the British GP at Silverstone, by the way!) please NB their noise abatement procedures.

We had our C172 done by Mick Allen last year and a very good job he/they did too...
Flew a PA38 down to Turweston to drop off ferry pilot for the return flight and had to land in stonking x/wind. ATC were really helpful, reading off the w/v every few secs as I was on finals. Now that's service !

1. I suppose I should - but only if the weather improves!
2. It was an Ilyushin 76. There has never been any problem with A340, An 124, B757, C-17, TriStar, B747 etc etc using that taxiway.
3. The ac was turned upside down by jet blast.
4. We hope it can be repaired - currently waiting for an estimate.
