I enjoyed Adam Trimingham's brief history of Shoreham Airport.

I first visited the airport in 1970 as a student pilot, when I flew in with an instructor from my base in Rochester.

He was to collect a Condor aeroplane which had had an engine change. Little did I know then I would end up living in the area.

The pictures of the airport's bygone years were excellent. I do hope a special event will mark its centenary.

Let us hope its future is assured.
