Concerning the future flying of model aircraft by the Beaulieu Model Flying Club on the Beaulieu Heath Airfield. The airfield apparently covers an area of approximately 79 acres, the model flying club uses about one acre. This one acre is baren tarmac. There is a short gravel track to the area, that is close to the Heath through road. Compared to this area, there are 50 plus car parks in the New Forest, that enable direct access into the New Forest along lanes and tracks, that go deep into wooded areas and very pleasant and lovely to walk along. So why oh why is there any doubt about giving permission to fly model aircraft in the sky above this area.
