Great airfield & very nice people working there !

Personally, I have a plane for 23/10 all day.

I mailed them, regarding my lack of transponder, and the answer was quick and polite. They tell me they can only say on the day of the flight, because only then can they judge how busy traffic is. I can quite understand that: they are not used to handling transponderless traffic. Unfortunately I need to make my plans longer before than that – I replied, and we shall see what turns up. The rapidity of the reply, and its very correct tone, certainly bode for the best.

You can always check with the navigation office Jan, some days before: that’s the reason we work with PPR, so we have an idea of what comes at what time. If you pick a timing which isn’t that busy, they should be able to fit you in? But I cannot judge on that of course.
Hope you can make it,
PPR sent.
Hopefully a visit to get some early xmas shopping done!
Hope to maybe see some others there too? If you are flying from the UK I wrote a very quick trip report a year or so ago with bus / travel info HERE
Fingers crossed for good weather!
Thanks for sharing your experience Alex

I might pop over… I could do a lunch meet-up in the town somewhere.
No chocs for me though. I put on 1.5kg in Croatia!
