Comments

Apron quite narrow with parked Cessnas so need to be careful manoeuvring. Ex RAF base, hence the B17 mural on the hangar.
There's a fire door between the main building and hangar to get a bicycle in and out
Went to the Bell in Stilton, a 15th century coaching inn https://thebellstilton.co.uk/ : good food, and rooms also available
Would need a taxi to visit Peterborough itself.
