No Landing Fees
It would be hoped that a man of his social standing would not see the need to charge any landing fees. That would make Compton Abbas a vibrant General Aviation Airfield once again, which we would all need to visit.
Apparently he is not buying the flying school so there seems to be an opportunity for someone else to do so. Some of the school aircraft are for sale along with a nice Stearman.
Looks like flying is limited to hours of 9-5 and a 15 pound landing fee including each touch and go. PPR required.
Also looks like a great place to visit. Are limits like this at all common on UK airfields?
