I instruct part time out of Andrewsfield and in the summer sometimes at Clacton.
Andrewsfield is a good place to visit as it has a cafe/bar. The winter has been an issue so far - hoping for a period of dry weather as the grass runways are suffering!
Ah yes, I used to fly out of Earls Colne years ago, in the winter we used to take off and land on the taxi way. Needed to get that right !
I'll contact you when it dries up a bit.
