Panshanger Airfield Photos

great airfield, even in the wet runway is well drained.

Sept 2nd 1961 Cessna Skyhawk G-ARMO

I visited Panshanger by road on 02.04.11 with a view to flying in at a later date.

I called into the flying school where I received a very warm welcome. I explained my requirements and was advised that visitors membership would be the most suitable option. This is just £25.00 for a year's membership and entitles the member to half price landings, half price overnight parking and 10% discount in the cafe. When I visit I'm likely to stay for a couple of nights with friends who live nearby so I only need to go a couple of times to more than break even.

I was offered a free cup of coffee on this visit so I tried the cafe and found that it was excellent. I also noted that there are a lot of events, including fly-ins, taking place throughout the year.

Overall I found it to be a very pleasant airfield and I'm very much looking forward to flying in as soon as possible.
