Bar Restaurant

Surely the best bar and restaurant in the UK.

Picture of

Popham

Well known, popular and affordable (for greater London area) airfield with two grass strips.

Curiosity: Trees that used to make landing difficult in the early days where only possibly to remove due to a legal loop hole: tree protection orders in UK are re-issued every so often, but it lapsed just before xmas holiday and the owner knew the issuing authorities were all off and wouldn't return to re-issue another one until the new year so he managed to cut down the offending trees in that time.

re: Missing NDB at Kemble Apt

I took the information from the DAFIF, which was closed to public access around 2007 (IIRC), so the navaid data is falling further out of date each year without user updates.

Reply to @david:

Hi, where did you get the informations for all the navaids?

re: Missing NDB at Kemble Apt

Thank you for the information about the new NDB. There hasn't been a good source of international navaid data since the DAFIF stopped open distribution a few years ago, and it's wonderful news that the UK has actually commissioned a new NDB when so many are closing. I've added the NDB here: http://www.ourairports.com/navaids/KMB/Kemble_NDB_GB/

Flying at Duxford

First flew gliders at Duxford in November 1961 and my last logged flight here in June 1962.

My first introduction to a Motor tow launch.

Was based at RAF Waterbeach at the time and offered a chance to fly a Turbulent. Missed it!! John Delafield flew it though.

RAF Duxford was my first posting as a Boy Entrant (SAC qualified Air Radar Mech) in April 1959.
