Leeds Bradford: Aircraft Movements, Flight Logs & Daily Heads Up

Use this prefix for new threads for Leeds Bradford Airport
Oh dear WH you are taxing my memory now. This happened in the 70s.
As far as I can remember Common Land is open all people. Going back into history it is where the 'common man' could graze cattle and collect wood!
If I can find my Countryside Act book I'll have a look to see if there is anything of interest to pass on.
The nearest point you can get a car near Plane Trees Hill is park on the stub of Yeadon Moor Road, which is off Bayton Lane. This is also the exit from the south side- near the old emergency control tower.

Development on Common Land MAY be permissible if another piece of suitable land can be found
For me, the crux is whether common land has to be left as as an eyesore and wasted, which PTH is now. A few days with an earth mover to smooth it out and it could be turned into a nice, usable area, with either grass or wild flowers, snd where people could go to watch the airport or just sit and take in the view. There's no need to build a car park to make it usable, and landscaping it isn't really developing is it? Someone could still graze his cattle or collect wood. It's just a waste of space as it is and it's wrong that what was, and should still be, a public amenity is wasted by the council to stop anti social behaviour. Other options were available but apparently not even considered.
 
I agree. Someone should have a word with the local council members.- but I wouldn't hold my breath. It won't have any cycle lanes to promote.
Looking at the geology of Plane Tree Hill the soil is very shallow and there are outcrops of Rock. Near the Yeadon Moor Rd side it is almost marsh land. All a bit difficult and expensive to sort out out

Heads Up!

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the first!
i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
