I always take a glance over to Otherton when I'm passing on the M6 headed to N Wales (or back) but believe it or not have yet to see anything flying there! Looks like a nice airfield though.

Reciprocal traffic, Waybourne. Not sure if the wide angle lens made it look further away than it really was? Looks like nice coastline to fly along. I lived in Norfolk, briefly.
