I was really looking forward to doing La Ferté for the first time – had accommodation and annual leave booked, ready to drive down early on Friday to watch the arrivals,

I went there for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. I did spend the entire Friday watching arrivals and training flights. However, their website says that only authorized persons will be permitted on the Friday. This makes me wonder, are they getting tougher on who’s around on the Friday this year, or is this a sleeping rule which they don’t enforce very hard? No one challenged me as I negotiated the hill last year! I’m arriving Thursday night and had planned to make it to the field bright and early the next day.
