I have never actually been to the place, but I have sold air displays on behalf of the Norwegian Spitfire Foundation for the Little Grandsten Airshows on multiple occations. This scenery looks fantastic! Nice details which makes the place come to life. Great to practice short field landings here in warbirds. It’s just a few minutes when flying from Duxford.

I fly out of here regularly and it’s great to see the Global Stars parked up, and the clubhouse where we have many BBQs. Great job!
