I got fuel on Friday OK. The school was totally deserted.
We had some trouble with the pump. ATC refused to help – “nobody around until maybe Saturday/Sunday”. When I asked about any fire crew, they said there is none (!). So I called Nestor who made a phone call and a fireman turned up and sorted it (took him a while though).
The AIR BP requirement was also not strict but I don’t know the details.
The city was great but the airport was definitely one of the least friendly ones I have ever been to. Well, you can read this thread some way back to get the feel of the “fun” we had.

Come on. Cheer up. It was great.
Thanks chaps, I’ll give it a go on arrival.
Should be possible if they are not busy with commercial flights.
Arrived on thursday on the flyin. Asked tower on landing that i am aware of notam, airbp on board how is the possibility on refuel? Got number 2 after fuelling helicopter taxi to fuel station. Biggest problem was to come to terms with the fuel station GUI… :)

Dont forget to check the notam as to which organization is on strike or planning to strike.

Lighten up Peter just because you spent 30 hrs only to hit a brick wall that Nestor had to demolish, does not mean the airport authority was that uncaring. Dont forget they looked the other way when some of us self parked on the tarmack.
Thank-you
