Higher Landing Fees The executive committee of the Aerodrome Owners Association has requested the Association's members to discontinue the current landing-fee concessions for private aircraft with effect from August 1. According to the committee, this "is not to be regarded in any way as a sign of discouragement to the users of private and business aircraft." In a letter to AOA members the secretary of the Association, Sqn Ldr A. W. Day, states: "It is considered that in view of the steadily increasing cost of maintaining and operating aerodromes, and of the current low scale of landing fees for light aircraft (6s per 1,0001b calculated to the nearest 1,0001b), aerodrome owners can no longer be expected to receive only 3s or 6s for the acceptance of "private' aircraft." 7,000th Bonanza The delivery of the 7,000th Beechcraft Bonanza, to W.
