    Great airfield, friendly instructors and a nice selection of aircraft. To those surprised at having aircraft flying overhead... why did you choose to live next to an airfield? The airfield has been there much longer than you have, and aircraft have to fly somewhere. Why not also write to the highways authority and complain about the road next to your house...

    The current owners of Clearprop have scant regard for their neighbours. Angus Lacy-Hulbert, the owner, owns a microlight G-CETR which sometimes flies at very low height on take off or landing over a house adjacent to Redlands. The business also has microlights which fly in circuits around this property every 2 mins or so when doing training circuits (and in the past it has mostly been over it). They also fly over a nearby childcare centre. Many residents in Wanborough and Covingham detest the noise of the circuits and overhead flying. Locals have complained to the local council about the noise from this airfield. Microlight flying near areas of settlement causes noise pollution. Surely people can expect not to be overflown and have peace and quiet in their own homes? Despite repeated requests not to be overflown the nuisance continues. This is disrespectful to the local population. Our houses were here before the airfield opened. Why should a business which causes problems for neighbours be allowed to exist?
