Excellent. But for some reason I had it in my head that you were doing Cardiff?

Cardiff is a large project, still in progress!

Ah!
And I'll go to the bottom of our stairs! Just seen that Swansea is launching scheduled flights to my nearest airport, Exeter, at the end of March! I wonder which airline is running them?

EDIT. It's not on OrbX yet so I bought it direct. The usual superb standard from PP. Except the birds do not sound like any Welsh birds I've ever heard? More like some tropical jungle.  And there's no sheep. I was expecting sheep.😀

Looks great and I'm sure it's well worth the money, but if I forked out ten or twenty pounds for every airport I fancied, I would be a poor man by now so will have to make do with freeware until I can find the time and inclination to make my own.

Plus VAT. It's a bit misleading if I'm honest and probably illegal. I'm not sure why they continue to do it.

Thanks.  I hadn't noticed that.  Advertising Standards would certainly have something to say about quoting ex VAT.

It legit says on the forum post "(both ex VAT/ Sales Tax - calculated at checkout based on your country)" right under the price. It's not hidden.

Great stuff, I'll add it to my collection over the weekend. 

I know it very well its where I obtained my PPL and kept my aircraft for some time the screenshots show its very  accurate.

It's because they are selling in an international market and not everyone has to pay VAT. As long as you see VAT included (if you have to pay it) in the price right before you click the buy button, there's nothing illegal.

As above, VAT levels differ per country (and even State, in the US).  Plus, some pay none (lucky things!).

It's only illegal to not quote or show VAT during checkout and then add it "blind".

Plus, the first post very clearly pointed out that the price is ex-VAT, which will be added depending on your country.

I love flying GA into Swansea, as a quieter, less procedural alternative to Cardiff.  This looks great.  Going to pick it up.

Yea that 'news' is all over the place, I would take this 'news' with a rather large grain of salt its strangely coincident with the fact that a couple of investors are trying to get the lease transferred from the current leaseholder who has let the place deteriorate for over a decade, the CAA closed it down for a bit last year because its fire service was not fit for purpose many times the guy on the radio is also a fireman and the guy that takes the landing fee and general dogsbody.

 

I hope the lease does get handed to someone with some nous as its a lovely area to fly from and around and could be a great asset as it once was
