Thanks, Colin. We just need to be able to get into the field next to the runway. Hopefully, soon.

Nice to see Headcorn photos again.
Don't they usually open the field around Easter time?

Hi, Grant. Good to hear from you. Yes, the usual time for opening the field is around Easter, and when the sheep have been moved out. Also, it is a bit weather dependent, so that vehicles don't make a mess of the soft ground.

Hi, Anthony. It was an amazingly busy afternoon, with plenty of activity. At times, there were anything up to four aircraft on finals. There was even a hot air balloon, although he failed to get airborne. Just looking forward to the field opening, although not for a few weeks yet, I suspect.
