Hi Mark

Tom's right about the hangarage rates at Bankstown, Camden isn't that bad
but is more expensive then Wedderburn. Hoxton Park would have been ideal but
they have built houses on it now. 

 

Camden would be my choice, it is a sport aviation haven, there are a several
RV's based out there, Pitts, Citabria's, Tiger Moth's, Stearman's, Nanchang,
Yak's,  gliders (Southern Cross & Sydney Gliding and lots of others. Good
grass cross strip as well as a long sealed strip. Control Tower operates on
weekends and is very accommodating to recreational aviators.

 

Wedderburn has improved a lot over the last few years.  It is the SAAA
field, fully sealed N/S strip (17/35). The biggest problem is that is carved
out of the middle of a forest, so not a lot of choices in emergency, there
is no cross strip, it is a long drive out of Sydney and it is in the middle
of nowhere. Apart from that it is the cheaper alternative.

Regards, ROSS

I now have a mental image of Bankstown and Camden being represented visually
by a guy in a clown suit.
