It seems that since Karol Bos took over HFL, no one has been allowed to look around.

I used to visit HFL frequently during the Tim Routis/Clive Denney days and I was made to feel very welcome. There used to be yearly BBQ's when guests and employee family members had a fun day while various aircraft flew in to Audley End.

I was even told that I would be charged to take photos... This would never of happened in the past...

Maybe this "closed door" policy is one carried over by Mr Bos from his Bosal company.

Bring back the good old days of HFL when it was at Audley End
