Great facilities. Friendly airport team
Pilots- FISO Clive is great in the tower along with his friendly colleague who books you out. Good choices of Runway. Asphalt. Not a long taxi. Airport Manager is hard-working and eager. Good fuel prices. Competitive landing fees. JetA1 and 100LL available. Visitors- Great Café with a wide range of snacks, sandwiches hot, and beverages. Easy navigation from car park with plenty of spaces daily to café. Garden area for youngers to play around and watch the aircrafts.
