  I get the idea (although he didn't say it) that Guy would like to create the Goodwood Revival of aviation. If that's what he's up to, I wish him every possible success!

  Stopped in here on my motorbike whilst on the Trans European Trail. Guy Ritchie comes over as a really friendly person. I wish him well and look forward to returning.

  As most other people have posted about the fine Mr Ritchie, I'll just say that it's lovely seeing you sharing happy, fun times with Bertie.  I bet he loves flying with you!

  Guy came across really well in this interview. I was pleasantly surprised to hear his position on the public gathering. There has clearly been a huge assault on this over the past few years and we need to take control back. Hats off to Guy for making an impact in his own way 🙌🙏

  I love that the staff are also wearing historic dress which plays into the feel and experience Guy is going for. Love that.

  I had a (never verbalised ) preconceived idea about Guy Ritchie, how wrong were those ideas! Really impressed with the man as a result of this interview.

  As a son of an Air Force pilot, I understand the romance of small airports. Good for Ritchie fighting back against isolation.

  I have worked on a Guy Ritchie TV pilot, and he is probably my favorite director to have ever worked with.  He is extremely humble, has zero ego, and a fantastic human to spend time with.

  I would love Guy Richie to direct a Bond movie, what if he is genuinely interested in classical aviation then maybe a remake of the Battle of Britain

  Now that is an airfield with a vision. Well done to Guy for having that vision. Great video Jon, well done 👍

  We flew into Compton Abbas a couple of weeks ago and liked what we saw. Lovely food and just as friendly and helpful staff as before. Well worth a visit and that advice about passing info to incoming pilots via PPR is spot on.  Do observe the noise abatement procedures as per Pooleys Guide to keep the neighbours happy and it'll be a lovely place to visit for years to come.  Well done Guy!
