Sandown, Duxford, Eaglescott are all places i've enjoyed visiting!

A330 Dreamer 7th Sep 2006 18:56

all GA friendly and no commercial hassles such as orbiting and security scrutiny that happened to a chap at blackpool recently posted on here?

In no particular order:
White Waltham - EGLM
Andrewsfield - EGSL
Headcorn (aka Lashenden) -EGKH
All three have great settings and a friendly clubhouse !
...... and if you're looking for excitement then try Lundy Island :eek:

Assuming you mean 'Merrie Engerland' and airfields therein only then:-

Scilly Isles - hard

Lands End - grass

Lundy Island -grass

Isle of Wight (Sandown) - grass

Wellesbourne (for Stratford) - hard

Cromer (for Cromer) - grass

Sheffield - hard (& God's Own Country)

The man said England ...

Fuji Abound 7th Sep 2006 20:29

Sorry (from me) he did.

In that case Peranporth is top of my list!

Just the approach over the cliffs - beautiful!!

Bournemouth for the approach and taxiing past 747s and KC-10's parked alongside. North Weald for the bacon buttie and howl of a Vampire being fired up.

Old Warden

Swansea for the lovely scenery and beaches of the Gower

Haverfordwest for the welcome and as a fuelling stop for Ireland (plus the scenery)

OK, OK I know they are in Wales not England!!!

Kemble - including the AV8 restaurant

Sleeve Wing 8th Sep 2006 08:07

Must visits
 
White Waltham for the pure variety of aircraft to be seen there, the aeros practices in the overhead and a good choice of grub whilst you're watching.

.............and an airfield with a helluva history.

Hello All I'd just like to Point out that Oaksey is now strictly PPR as They have a movements Limit due to planning. The only Exception to this is for the two Fly In's per year they're allowed. So If you do decide to visit Please give Dick Thrush the airfield manager a ring before you set out. ( The number's in Pooleys etc)

If you're looking for somewhere to visit next weekend why not drop into the Wiltshire Flyers Fly In on Sunday 17th September. (see new thread for details) ;)
