NOTES: A PFA/Scout Air Activity Camp was held here over the weekend of 16-18 April 2004.
In the December 2020 edition of Light Aviation magazine it was revealed that the unique in the UK, Fleet Model 80 Canuk, G-FLCA, has been based here for many years. And, it appears it is a delightful aircraft to fly. I must admit I had never heard of the Fleet Aircraft company, until many years ago when I was taken to an aviation museum near Calgary in Canada, (with an Avro Lancaster which you could go inside), and found another Fleet type on display.
