Just wondered if anyone knew whether you are able to get permission to land at Wethersfield, or is it ATC squadron and MOD only.

Apart from Rayne and Andrewsfield, are there any other airfields that might be suitable to get to Wethersfield as I need to visit.

TIA

Looks like I can't get into Wethersfield , which is a shame. Are there any Andrewsfield local forumites that could suggest a taxi firm or public transport route to get me from the airfield to Blackmore end, about 6 miles north of A/Field.

I thought Wethersfield was one of the few that would (eventually) be re-forming with cadets who were parented by Kenley going there instead of Upavon where they have to go at the moment.

Chevvron, the runour I heard was that it was locating to Swanton Morley - but that rumour is about 12 months old. :thumleft:

Confirmed last month that it is going to happen (according to a post on Proon)... no date though.
