Hi there will no no parking at the terminal end. All parking will be on the old market site with a free shuttle bus every 5 min. Only those with business at the flying clubs etc will be parking in the normal car park, otherwise we would have about 50 parking spaces!

Are there any plans to extend the car parking arrangements?
Doesn’t bother me as I’ll be walking however there are only enough spaces for about 100 cars (if that).

Hi Rob, I may come to this, out of interest what’s organised on the side lines for visitors / spectators? (If anything?)

Yes the normal landing fees are rather steep for light aircraft. All static aircraft are free, as are the first 50 fly-in visitors. Also a chance for the first fifty to win two prizes of 200 ltrs of fuel.We have outside caterers as well as The Bushe cafe.

What I wonder, are they charging for a landing fee at this bonanza ? Last time I looked the landing fee was over £24 for a 1.5 ton aircraft and the cafeteria was dire.
