I often walk the mutts along the 550yd grass strip at Coate and over the years, have become friends with Mr Hibberd who keeps his three airplanes in the barns at the eastern end of the strip. Whilst walking down earlier I noticed that he had replaced the tatty old windsock with a brand new one but wondered about the "CIA" on top. He was working on his Druine Turbi G-APBO when I reached the end of the strip and we had a chat where he informed me that it stands for "Coate International Airport"
