Tie Downs
There is a cable stapled to the apron running length-wise roughly centred which is presumably for tying air planes down. There are also some concrete blocks with eyelets that can be dragged to tie down the tail.
Fly-to BBQ
About 15 minute walk from the airport, across fields, this park has picknick tables and fixed BBQs. There is a beach, change rooms and washroom facilities, but when I was there the washrooms were closed, and the beach was the sole preserve of Canada Geese and seagulls. We were still able to have a nice afternoon BBQ though.
Bomb scare
Early in the morning of 1 August 2009, LaGuardia was evacuated because of a passenger carrying a fake bomb, resulting in huge delays:

Film lot
Leavesden, which hosted an important military Rolls-Royce factory during World War II, was taken over as a film lot in the 1990s:
A charming liitle airport
A very charming little airport with a friendly restaurant where in summer you can have lunch and dinner. No landing fee! Do land on the grass strip right next to the hard-surfaced runway with potholes which hasn't been used since World War II.
A taxi takes you to close-by St Valery for EU 10,00. Well worth a visit!

Dan and Kelly 2 english bulldog....Cameroon..
Thank yous all so much, I was just on the net looking for the airport that the pupps would be departing from, and I came upon your comments.
Mrs Kelly Miller, has the pupps at the airport ready to leave, and wants a 90.00€ deposit ASAP for the pupps to leave.
I always had a gut feeling that this is a scam but my husband never thinks people are able to pull something like this off.
Mrs. Miller has a dog with her name...interesting.
Thank you all for posting up theese comments this way you prevent people of getting ripped off....CARMA IS A BITCH IT WILL COME BACK AND BIGHT THEM IN THE ASS!!!!
Oh they where going to send the pupps to the Azores, Portugal for 180.00€ both...lol
Runway 32
The CFS says runway 32 is treated gravel which makes it sound like runway 26 would be a better choice despite a crosswind. However, as of July 2009 when I stopped for fuel, I found runway 32 to be in great condition with no loose gravel whatsoever. And if you are able to do a good short field landing, the first 400 feet of runway 32 is asphalt.

re: cameroon scam! 3 english bulldog pups
OMG!!! The same thing happened to me I saw an ad for a teacup yorkie online and contacted the owner via email about purchasing it. I was under the impression that she was located in the state of North Carolina but she wasn't. She gave me this long drawn out story of how her daughter just died from a brain tumor and she was trying to sell the dog because her daughter was the main caregiver of the dog. I fell for it and I sent a $110.00 money gram and not even two days later I received an email from the Douala airport claiming that the dogs insurance was expired and I would have to send an extra $288.00 to cover the dogs insurance but they said that the money was refundable once the dog arrived in the states. I emailed the owner and she said that she was broke and didn't have the money she said she could only cover $100.00 of it. I told her that I refused to send any more money down there. She gave me this sobb story about how she has fallen on hard times which to me was BS becuase I'm like hell were in a recession everybody is having hard times and she knew the dog's insurance had expired but she still sent it to the airport. so I asked her well why would knowingly send your dog to the airport knowing that her insurance was expired. I knew then that this had to be a scam. So in the end I'm out of $110.00 but I know that I will not purchase anymore anything from overseas especially coming from Douala Airport.
Awesome Airport

Light rail into Boston
This station is about 4 miles from the west side of the field, and just over 2 miles' drive from the east side, on the Newburyport/Rockport light rail commuter line into Boston. The fare to Boston's North Station as of July 2009 was $6.25 ($3.10 senior/disabled), and you can take the subway from there to other parts of Boston.

Easy stop over
Nice air strip - looks like they may have either just built this, or they expanded it recently. FBO is a trailer, but very welcoming. Line crew (Kyle) was right there on the line with my rental car and tied the plane down. Very friendly and helpful. Hertz rental car had the car there on time, but it was dirty inside and out and was actually pretty tired for a rental - 38,000 on a rental is a lot - sounded like they were losing a wheel bearing in front - very loud - so not any kudos for them. Very convenient for me since I have business in both DC and Richmond - right in the middle and outside the SFRA - which is why I think there were some serious jets parked as well.
2 teacup yorkie puppies
I feel for it, they got me for 161.00 , but my daughter said it was real , but it wasnt. man am i stupid. They shut my internet off at the wrong time i was emailing them from my phone so i couldnt check any of this out but i have and i am turning them in cause i have the peoples names on the western union papers that i have and i kept every one of them i sent 2.

re: Permission to Land and park
The Canada Flight Supplement gives the town contact number (705) 842-2117 for the airport.
re: dont belive in people in cameroon
it's true!
they ask for a feeding fee and everything!
They say your puppy is starving and they will turn you in if you don't pay!
We have to find some way to turn them in!
Permission to Land and park
Is there a phone number for permission to land & park,
We cannot find any phone numbers for town offices?
