Essentially we have use of the area shown below:

I think it makes sense to use the airfield if its available to us. Billing is ok but we don't really use any of their facilities only a flat bit of grass. When you have to pay £10 IIRC to get in then they want another £100 for a pitch we may as well use somewhere else if its available to us.
