The runway is runs parallel to the highway.
The only problem with 26 is the psychological problem of that final last
second turn onto the runway.

I was advised to make a rudder turn before I came in for the first
time. Seems to work, though you need to bank around first. Then
rudder to straighten up just before the wheels touch.

There's a big arrow painted on the ground to tell you which way
to go in isn't there?! :-)

It's one of the cheaper places to fly in the UK.

Go north west on the map and you'll see Bourne Park.

I used to fly G-BDUO when it was at Cardiff. It's now based at
Popham. Nice new paint now! Before it was repainted I helped
Irv Lee scrape the ice off it once. Don't know if that contributed
to the need for re-painting... :-)

Ah, I see the ukga.com guy has posted my photograph of
Bourne Park.

My home airfield chaps, for all who want to see it!

Er, and a bit of my plane.

Bourne Park is a regular stop for our Vagabond IJ. I think that PA17 does
more hours per year (220) than the rest of the UK fleet of PA15/17 put
together.

I've seen that when I've been on the ground at Popham. I pop
in occasionally when I'm driving past to see who's there. Chris
Thompson's a group member on the Auster at Bourne Park if
I remember correctly.
