The sale of the busiest General Aviation airport in the UK to Horizon Aero Group has collapsed. What do the two local councils which own the airport do now? We visit the airport - still functioning and busy - and look at what it could be.

In this week’s news:
Sale of Gloucestershire Airport collapses
Consultation over the airspace above Manston Airport in Kent when it reopens
Update on the new MD 564 ‘hotrod’ helicopter
Entries open for TopNav 2026, the navigation competition that takes place in May

Dave marvels at two microlight pilots heading for Iceland
