Hi amoore - I've heard, I think from TPC, that one small hassle of flying out of Denham is that the rwy is short and "don't expect to get off with four blokes in a Warrior". No such problems at Wycombe, and from memory the RWYs are about the same (800m-ish)? Sounds like an exageration... ?

Ahhh, trees! Thats a bummer as I was thinking of looking at private hire there as possible alternate to Wycombe on occasion, but what would be the point if you had to fly back to Wycombe or over to Elstree in order to pick-up the 4th pax!?!

But, to be serious, if a Warrior is within W&B limits, I do not see how you would have any problems in getting airboune off Denham's 779m of tarmac. Yes there are trees, but not very tall, & not very close to the runway. Also light twins regularly use that field. I have flown GA7s in/out of there.
By comparison, Elstree is only 656m. And Wycombe at 735m, is shorter than Denham.
