Shifnal Microlight Strip
It's not for everyone as it is quite short but a friendlier more helpful welcome would be hard to find anywhere.
It's just a few minutes in a car to my parents house and closer than Sherlowe which is now too short for me.
They are having a fly-in on the last w/e of this month.

Yes ZA - having intermittent issue-ettes with my transponder. Outbound on Sat, both Lakenheath and BHX gave me codes and SSR id'd me.
Return journey Sun both stations could not rx my return but my box was blinking away every time it was interrogated.
Any ideas anyone? - I am NOT great with avionics!

Rod1 - I assume it's connected (I'll go and have a look in a sec) and it's definitely clean, (my aeroplane is kept clean - I even cleaned the belly at Shifnal!) so, else how else would the unit know if it was being interrogated if not through the antennae?
- all of which goes to the local air-amby

Ideal for a visit to RAF Cosford air museum as well, only a £6.00 / 10 minute taxi ride. Useful as RAF Cosford itself is only available 10.00 to 16.00 Mon to Wed for civilian traffic.........

Lots of people saying it is not sustainable and you have to charge £50 or it is not fair on GA?
Sounds like my sort of place – I will add it to the list.
Good luck with the Xponder – if you know someone with a PCAS you can use it to test the Xponder on the ground. Useful if there is a bad connection etc.
