Scott C: are you referring to LORD Sugar the SR22 owner? I understand he doesn't like to be called Sir Alan any more.

Ive been put off by Shoreham fees not just landing but aircraft hire i live 10 miles away from the airfield.
The cost of a Shoreham landing fee is comparable to a night at a good b and b or stay at a small hotel in Yorkshire.
During the summer i went to Breighton airfield several times for a few days.Aircraft hire was £100 per hour wet with free landing at local airfields i.e Full sutton Sherburn etc and as important free touch and goes. A cessna 172 was £120 wet.
The Real Aeroplane Company are based at Breighton and they just like many local flyers are not "£5 pilots" just cos the landing fee is reasonable or free.
Obviously this arrangement does not suit all but it suits me, id rather spend my hard earned money on flying time not landing charges.

CCTV

Has Shoreham got some form of CCTV? Places like this usually do so that some underworked numpty can check from a distance that visiting pilots are clad from head to toe in reflective dayglo clothing.

Perhaps it is time to turn the CCTV to good use to find the thieves mentioned above !

I bet it has. As I was wearing a bright pink jumper with a green reflective jacket, I was so visible it probably blew a fuse.
