+VIDEO Secretary of State for Transport, the Rt Hon Grant Shapps, stopped by the FLYER stand at the weekend’s LAA Rally for a brief interview with Ian Seager.

  • More airfields, less controlled airspace
  • Why the CAA/DfT is making life hard for pilots flying N-reg aircraft on a US licence

Here’s a video of the interview:
