The airfield is currently closed to visiting aircraft (resident ones can still fly) and the cafe is closed for renovations. It's supposed to reopen mid March but there is some scepticism that it will, I'm seeing a mate of mine for the Himmy MOT tomorrow and he has a plane there (doing him a bit of a disservice with that description, it's a 1930's tri engined art deco thing that used to belong to an American General) so I'll get the latest from him. If it's not open when we catch up then there are plenty of other decent stops within 10/15 minutes that we can use.
After chatting to my mate it seems as if the take over of the airfield by GR can't have come soon enough and plans and actions are in place to have it reopened as soon as possible and it will be a much more visitor friendly set up than previous ie more than just two toilets and coffee not served from a container in the car park. Certainly the resident aircraft owners are pleased with the wat things have gone so far (it's very early days, formal hand over was only two weeks ago)
Fabulous news, tis a great venue for a visit.
Ta for the privy intel Trev
How’d the Himmy get on ?
