Hi all,
I used to buy a lot of my supplies at Transair at Fairoaks before it closed down.
Does anybody know – just to save me a trip for nothing – if the unit once used by Transair has been taken up by anybody else selling similar bits and pieces? I can’t seem to find anything on the internet to answer my question.
Thanks in advance!

Fairoaks
Flight centre by the cafe has a ‘Transair’ shop within, but only limited amount of books maps etc. Chinese whispers have it that the former premises had become financially unviable.

There are no dedicated aviation shops at Fairoaks since Transair closed their premises a while back, however the Flight Centre may possibly be able to supply aeronautical charts and items for the private flyer. I believe the Transair premises is now occupied by a flight training establishment.

Im glad you got what you was looking for!
As far as im aware theres one in central London and I think one at coventry (dunno if thats still there)
I wish they would open one at Cranfield!

When did the fairoaks one shut?
I’m not entirely sure, but it was a handy little shop, with a good selection of items for purchase. I think Transair had 7 stores the last time I shopped with them but they now only have four.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. I did head off to Wycombe in the end, but the shop was very small, stocking a very limited selection of products. Saying that, however, I did manage to get what I was after.

When did the fairoaks one shut? I never knew it closed.
I think theres one open at Wycombe Airpark now.
