A petition to the Parliament has been started to classify airfields as Greenfields, presumably to defend against non-airfield developers pushing for lucrative housing. Moving towards a protected Strategic Airfield Network is GAAC's goal. gaac.org.uk/2024/04/25/air…

Broadcasting from Fairoaks LTFC & Brooklands

At EBACE in Geneva… good show … not much big industry news but lots of people to meet, and the weather behaved out in the static park!

At SWIFT Conference at Heathrow just finished Aerial Work & Airports session with Patrick from ASOG … for Informa AvWeek but also mentions of GAAC role supporting UK airfields.

At Brooklands Museum fly-in… great day for it and met my old boss at Flight, and former museum Director, Allan Winn. Nice to see flying surviving at such a famous historic airfield.

Unusual rainbow at Fairoaks today

As posted by Flyer magazine on LinkedIn: flyer.co.uk/blackpool-airp… Good to have solar but surely could leave the runways alone? think GA not just big aircraft... Look at airfields and Germany and they are way ahead with many having solar but they tend to leave the runways....
