it claims Gillingham is 1 hour and 20 minutes from London by train. the fastest trains take 1 hour and 50 minutes. This raises doubts about the truthfulness of other claims. I also agree with the more general questioning of neutrality cited below.

Not exactly neutral[edit]

The current article reads like a brochure not an encyclopaedia article and so breaks just about every guideline about neutrality. Adjectives and phrases such as "spectacular" and "long standing reputation" need a citation if you are going to say them. "Prices are very competitive" likewise needs a reference to an evaluation of airfield best buys, while "small enough to be friendly and customer orientated" needs some indication of how is this could be judged impartially. "An ideal location", "a unique location" and "unrivalled facilities" can be questioned by stating that every location is unique, by definition, and by asking if no other airfield has these attributes. (Nice airfield even so.) JMcC (talk) 15:48, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
