Comments
Bembridge has a hard runway and taxiway, and grass parking. They used to park “bigger or nicer” planes on a couple of tarmac circles (I visited many times 10+ years ago) but they don’t seem to do that anymore. The current “radio” operator is basically not present, you make blind calls on the frequency, and is present only on email. Very responsive on email though, at seemingly all times. You get PPR via a website application form. The airfield is open sunrise to sunset and you pay by BACS. What is not to like? It’s basically perfect!
There are a lot of nice walks around the island. Definitely worth spending a few days there.
