In regards to this I went to the meeting the council held a little while back relating to alternate use of the airport and if they should keep it open. The guys from the 4 aces stood up and proposed the drags and surprisingly there was not anyone in the there that said anything against it and this inlcuded some of the flying club oldies that seem to think rate payers should pay for their own airport. I am also lead to believe that the Sporting Car Club is trying to get use of the airport aswell maybe someone knows more about this. Either way they want rate payers to fund the airport by increasing rates, so I for one am only happy if I get to use it and I don't own a plane (like most) or they can shut it down, no point paying for something I can't use, that money would be better off fixin the roads.
