Having overflown its handy on-field VOR many times, I decided to stop by Gamston today.
There's a lit, long tarmac runway. Big aprons, and extraordinarliy neat, laid-out parking bays. Generally the field is in great all-round pristine condition. You won't find any shabby run-down-ness here.
There's a row of smart, modern hangars filled with spectacular machinery - I counted six King Airs and three Citations, as well as one Eclipse, dwarfed among the King Airs.
And the newly furbished cafe is a gem. Proper food, served on proper crockery, reasonably priced, with a view over the action. Tea is served in a pot, that kind of thing.
Landing fee £11.74 for a PA46. I overheard with a fuel lift (don't know the required size) the fee is waived.
I can't believe I've never been there in 10 years of flying before. What a gem. I will be back soon to explore more.
