Regular Traffic

Flying lessons carried out by The North London Flying School take place all the time in their Pipers and Robinsons, they also offer flights in an Extra 300L and a Piper Cub and have now acquired a Cessna 310 for twin conversions which will be out and about soon. Other GA traffic operates from the airfield, Cessnas, Pipers, Grob, Bulldog.

Facilities and Transportation

There is a very nice cafe called 'The Blue Skies Cafe' which serves breakfasts and lunches as well as drinks and snacks, there are toilets as well. There are some outside seating areas, either on the patio or on the park benches on the grass. You can go into the office where you can gather information leaflets on flying lessons etc or even speak to some of the pilots. There is also quite a large car park.
