psk2449 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I decided to revisit my youth flying gliders, and flew FTX EU to Lasham which is the UK gliding capital. This airodrome was and still is as far as I know, only large enough to be licensed for GA and gliding. I was somewhat startled to see grouped together virtually touching, six large commercial jets parked in the GA area. I am sure these intruders are not supposed to be there.

Craig Kiltie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 At Lasham there is an aircraft maintenance company, called ATC and various airliners from Boeings and Airbuses can be there being worked on, the largest that the company can handle is the Boeing 757-300 with airlines using the facility such as Thomson, Icelandic Air, Norwegian, DHL, Ryanair, Aer Lingus and many more. The maintenance area In the early days was owned by Dan Air London, which was quite a large ariline in the UK in the 70's and 80's and all their aircraft were sent there for servicing, abit like what British Airways do at Cardiff these days.
