### My personal experiences flying into UK airfields. 

Flying into airfields around the UK and Europe. Here are a few thoughts and pointers based on my own experiences. Please note these are my own personal notes and experiences. If you are planning to fly into any of these, then use the usual aviation sources for correct information.
