Airports in the United Kingdom

The airport currently seems to be a base for helicopter tours:

This is a former RAF base from world war II which is the only one still using the original buildings. The FBO, Far North Aviation, is in the original tower. You feel very much into "Battle of Britain" here. Great service, very friendly, no hassles with the paperwork. A very nice place to land after or before crossing the pond. The approach is a LOC DME and the weather can be low, but even though it's called the Highlands there is nothing solid to hit near the airport. The local scotch (Old Pulteney) is excellent, as is the beer (the Real Mackay).

This is a very busy GA Airport with both Fixed wing and Helicopter traffic.

For many years it Housed the London met police helicopters and recently G-SURY the Surrey

POLICE helicopter was based there but due operational problems has now moved to RAF ODIHAM.

This Airfield is very busy during the Farnborough international Airshow.
