I sent an email about returning to base there and didn’t get a reply. Not a great start!
Great news that Weston is secured for the future (I hope that’s what it means!).
I was at one time a frequent visitor to Weston and had the privilege of knowing the original owner, Captain Kennedy, back in the day. He once showed me a trophy that he had gained for some exploit (I wish I remembered what it was) that had been awarded to him personally by St. Expury. It was like touching the wings of god…..
Sadly he died a few years back and there’s an epitaph in the Irish Times.

I have a piece of his Rallye EI-BBJ in the boot of my Toyota. I don’t know why I carry it about, but probably just to show some other aerosexual I might meet that I do indeed have deep roots in aviation!

Just give them a call. They are incredibly friendly and non-bureaucratic.
EG – while I have been in the US they emailed me to let me know that had moved my aircraft into a hangar (by hand, not easy, 2t, 300m), because of storm Arwen coming. No charge.
