things seem to have generally tailed off over the last few years. having grown up (and still having parents living there) directly in the flightpath of fairwood, there’s been a noticeable derease in traffic.
you used to get quite a lot of biz jets popping in, a lot of military traffic (mostly hawks and C-130’s)using the circuit, plus lots of general aviation, but these days its only the odd biz jet, not much in the way of military stuff, and the general aviation is a lot smaller than it used to be.
its a far cry from its hey day in the 70’s when you had dan air heralds and viscounts in and out all the time, there used to be a beautiful red beech staggerwing based there, as well as a havard. the gliding school was up every weekend, there was a big parachute school there, and it even used to have a great airshow there. (i still remember seeing a vulcan doing touch and goes there one airshow.)
