How to get to Avebury
This is a very simple flight and all the more fun for it! Assuming a westerly wind you will probably take off from R/W 24. You can continue the climb straight ahead and you should see the distinctive bend in the river and Henley-on-Thames straight ahead. Henley should probably be your initial navigational point for [...]
A Weekend In Jersey
{mosimage} I do not enjoy journeys. I’m not being anti-GA when I say that – it’s not the means of travel that bothers me, I just don’t have a lot of patience. If I’m to go away for a weekend I want to get where I’m going pretty quickly and get on with the relaxing [...]

Prestwick and South Ayrshire
Prestwick is a famous international airport. Recent discoveries indicate that it has been a home to aviation since 1913, only 10 years after the Wright Brothers. Take a glance at the map and you’d be forgiven for believing that the airport is in the middle of nowhere – South Ayrshire is not renowned as a [...]
