Bluey, Anywhere with 1000m or thereabouts of reasonable quality tarmac would do the job nicely for me. Much less than that, and I would be forced to resort to a piston-powered beastie. Perhaps you might even get it up yourself for the next one?
I can get it up without the aid of the good Doctor or one of his blue pills 😉 Just need lighter winds or failing that something more east-west.
There is now a Plan B where I can hire another sort of Rocket from Coventry.
The ‘Green (Wolverhampton) would suit as it has two runways with lengths greater than 1000m. Given it still retains the classic “A” design layout, it should be also suitable like Leicester to tailwheelers requiring something more into-wind.
I would like though someone to confirm that the Spaceport concept is dead and the eatery is okay. I was surprised when someone at the flying club last week said they had been to ‘Green the other week and it was okay.
With that in place, could anyone suggest a date?
