What a nice, cosy airfield. On quiet side on Saturday afternoon I visited. May be, that's more to do with Olympics. Mostly GA, mine was the only microlight the day I flew there, however, just wish to add, all sort of pilots are welcome. Good AG service. Friendly people all around, except the waitresses in the cafeteria - I desperately missed a smile there. Good food though so it doesn't matter I suppose. £7 landing fee for microlights seemed pretty reasonable. All in all, a pleasant experience, so would be visiting again.

My trusty steed!

So this must be why they call it the black country!

Visited on 21/05/10 from Netherthorpe.

Great airport and very quiet upon arrival. Food was great and the guys in the tower were very helpful allowing us to check our en route weather.

Would definitely visit again!

Made a brief vist to Wolverhampton today and found a very warm welcome.

Although the man in the tower was reluctant to share his microwave curry lunch with us, he did very kindly go out of his way to arrange a coffee for us from the office, and needlessly apologised for the café being closed on a Monday. Then a short friendly casual chat with the resident microlight instructor, who was up to his eyes helping sort other people's problems out with a smile, proved that this was a friendly, & very pleasant place to visit.

I also visited wolverhampton on Sat 24th April with our Fuji 200 and found the reception warm and welcoming considering this was the first time I had visited and it was part of my qualifying cross country.

Will certainly go back for more visits
