Major developments at Tatenhill
Tatenhill have now commenced work on new hangarage, including T hangers, plus a new admin block with café and club room. Resurfacing of taxiways is also ongoing. Hangarage will be first come first served so contact T’hill today to get your name down!

I will admit that I was having a bit of a joke with the timing but the story is completely true. I have no idea about staffing etc. The meeting was last night and the airfield management made the announcement.

That's odd - NATS AIS must have got it wrong then when they printed the words Taxiway Only on the aerodrome chart...

Taxiway
The Taxiway Only is the old grass runway that we use when dry, as a taxiway very well used at the weekends to keep traffic moving.

If you look at the map the disused runway to the north and south is used as a taxiway. The new hangars will also be on the old runways so all this will presumably need sorting. It is a big development but I suspect it will not all happen in one go.

Must pop in. Is there any sort of coffee available at the moment?
Tatenhill was the second stop on my QXC (Welshpool - Gloucester - Tatenhill - Welshpool) so I have a soft spot for it.
