Interesting places to fly too ???
 

Hi Guys,

Looking for some interesting places to fly to about 1hr - 1:30hr flight time from Stapleford ? I have done all most major one nearby such as Manton Shoreham Lydd Southend Norwich.

Try Lille or Ostend.

Bembridge, Duxford, Coventry, Le2K, Old Buckenham....loads of places you can go to.

:)

Depends on what type you are flying in, doesn't it......

Nothing terribly interesting in the UK. Try France - but not the N coast necessarily. Try La Rochelle, etc.

Heathrow without talking to anyone :p

Cornwall was quiet nice when I was down there last.

And Scilly's was well worth a visit bit, further than you planned though

Landing fees & food is cheaper in France, plus HMR&C pay for my lunch when I go abroad!

If it's a 100kt plane, where can you get in France beyond the N coast? Not La Rochelle I assume - according to Google Earth that's 334nm as the crow (not necessarily the plane) flies from Stapleford. Or are we talking something a lot faster than a 172/Warrier?

Compton Abbas - has it all - good restaurant, helpful & friendly staff, excellent surrounding country (Jurassic Coast, lots of iron age earthworks scattered about).

Just be careful if approachuing from the south - it can diffciult to find behind the row of trees - easier approach from the north, find Shaftesbury and its a couple of miles due south.

Places to visit !!!
 

If you had a nice fast machine, that cruise at around 140kts and your willing to stop over go to Plockton on the Kyle of lacalsh. You land sign the visitors book no hi vis jackets cheap landing fee and no idiot with clipboards! Walking in to the town centre and have a dabble at the sea food restaurant!

Try eddsfield on the n.e coast that nice!
Denham and whitwaltham aswell! And compton abbas!

I want to go and aviate now!
