✁
For February we have two free landings, one at Beccles Airfield in Suffolk, and the other at Chiltern Park in Oxfordshire; a 30% discount for Blackpool Airport in Lancashire, and a £5 landing fee at Wolverhampton Airport in the West Midlands. Some of those February days are cold, crisp and remarkably clear, so take the opportunity to get some air beneath your wheels should one come

along. Please check the airfield is operational if we’ve had a wet spell, even if it is not PPR, you don’t want to turn up and discover it is closed due to waterlogging. Daylight is still relatively short so make sure you head for home early and keep an eye on that dew point as fog can roll in very quickly this time of year. Have fun!
