Can anyone tell me if it's possible to purchase a gas in Grahamstown. If not, what is the best way of arranging fuel there. Is there hanger space for a C182 available for 2017?

I feel compelled just to draw attention to the error in the spelling of the town's name in your website and therefore also that of the airport with an 'e', as "Barkley" - correctly spelt "Barkly". I point this out in the hope that my doing so will not offend and that you would wish to make a correction rather than allowing the error to remain on your website. Please delete this comment as you wish.

Molly Cohen earned her "wings" Pilot's Licence in Somerset East in 1950 and at which time she was the youngest woman to do so.
Sadly, my mother, Molly did not live to see the day that the Aerodrome became an Airport as she died last year on 8 October 2012.
I still have her "wings" and all her Pilot study manuals and lessons which were recorded from all those years back.
