That people require houses before GA requires airfields, is perhaps not too much in dispute. There is too much airfield supply chasing too little GA demand. My concern, which should be the concern of all the supporters of GA is the survival of GA in its present form. The whole point of my contributions is to discuss and get support for the proposal contained in #1.

It is the only way that I can see that GA will get something back for giving something away ! If we, collectively, do not make some active protest, then we will be ignored and gradually the screw will be tightened upon what is seen by MANY as a non essential, environmentally intrusive, rich boy’s pastime.

I forecast, a long time ago, that the future of GA will increasingly be restricted to the use of farm strips. With each passing month that appears to be the shape of the future. Please don’t ‘muddy the waters’, by ignoring the central message of this subject. Please assist by writing or lobbying the contact groups i’ve mentioned.
