Polly/Lee On Solent
If Lee On Solent not mentioned in Jeppensons Flight Guides then that is your answer, that was the main reference for the record breaking flight as they were major sponsors.

Wonder if a service flying club plane could use LOS?

Chuck,
yes - it still is. I remember the day you flew it there - impressive
It would be nice to see someone buy it and keep it flying like the Dutch are doing with their PBY.
That was a nice flying machine and should not be just parked.
Glad you enjoyed the show, by the way all the turns were done at cruise power and cruise RPM.....

If the Press have it right that's great news.
The AOPA UK representatives working with Lee Flying Association look forward to working with all the parties concerned.
Police want to ban all flights from the airfield aside from their spotter plane and the coastguard's helicopter, because they say the site is not safe as it has no air traffic control and no dedicated fire fighting service.
However last night the force agreed to postpone the ban while talks continue between them, the Lee Flying Association, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, and the South East England Development Agency.
Cllr Woodward, said: "I'm very pleased and at least this gives us some space to work out how flying can continue from the airfield in the long term."
