I was at Sandown again, to-day. I have heard that the person responsible for blocking the runway was, allegedlly, John Woodhouse.

The Police were called and the motor vehicle was removed. The a/c remained. I understand that up to nine visiting a/c called in and were turned away resulting in loss for those who gain a living from an operational airfield.

Quite what this person hopes to gain or his legal entitlement to enforce his writ remains to be seen.

Would anyone who planned to fly into Sandown on Saturday, 26th May and was subsequently turned away or, who is similarly baulked on any future occasion and is prepared to sign a prepared affidavit please PM me.
