Primarily for general aviation discussion, but other aviation topics are also welcome.

So following 9 months of closure, that sounds promising. What has changed?

Are there any new laws in place to safeguard movements and FBOs, or does it still depend on which side of the bed the owner wakes up? :D

Well, the report says "the airfield says it is also receiving increasing interest from a number of businesses wishing to relocate to the airfield for flight operations" so I'm sure that means they want people to fly there. It also says that GoSkyDive are back operating, but there's no mention of the earlier issues when they closed.

It's a nice airfield and I would go there occasionally, but the website clearly says "Old Sarum Airfield is now closed to ALL movements". :?: :?:

There is a current NOTAM which says "Reinstate EGLS.... UK AIP Gen 2.4 refer" but that just seems to restore the EGLS indicator.

It could mean 'we are hoping to carry out our promise (threat?) to make the airfield as commercially busy as possible. night and day, as compensation for the lack of income following the planning refusal, and if the locals complain, it's their fault for not supporting, or objecting to, the planning proposal'.

Some of the arguments apparently used by the airfield owners in their appeal, according to that news report, are simply mind-boggling. How anyone can be that stupid as to spend the money involved in ending up in the High Court and be making arguments like that, it defies belief.
