Biz Jets at Elstree?
Twas about 4 or 5 years ago (before I got my PPL), when to my great surprise a biz jet plopped itself down at Elstree. It was a great sight to see. Just out of curiosity, to all you Elstree regulars, is this a common event, or did I witness a bit of a one off. Any other "interesting " airfields where biz jets pop in every now and then?

I've seen a Citation at Elstree a couple of times over the last couple of years - actually caught it landing once, seemingly without too much fuss. The occaisional King Air pops in as well. Must make for some careful performance calcs, but then I guess if lighlty laden then even some of these "bigger" aircraft can fairly shift on t/o/landing.

I've seen a Citation a few times over at Denham, it certainly is something to see when he lands or takes off.....
....although I think it would sink into the mud as soon as it leaves the r/w if it were to pay a visit in the near future

The Citation goes in and out quiet a bit in the Summer at Denham.
Normally ends up in Northolt in the winter coz of the soft grass! Do you remember the Two DC3's that used to be in Elstree?
