I would appreciate any photographs of saturday in Blackpool for my scrapbook
Lost my camera in the taxi to the airport!!!

As some of you know it was a special day for me and one of the best special days I have had - i would like a pictorial...

Just wanted to share this picture with one and all...

Taken this afternoon with its new number on the side - yet another vanity tail number I'm afraid!

The aircraft is missing one vital thing at the moment... a certificate of...

If Wx is good I may fly from Bournemouth to Sherburn and back - will have a spare seat if anyone is interested.

The VIP lounge is booked tomorrow morning from 11:30 - 12:30 for VIP guests they are not allowed to tell me about :roll: look at the TRA NOTAMS and guess the rest :roll:
Anyway, we can have it before and after so, as I will be getting in early - I...

Some oh-so-funny person has defaced the Blackpool registration page . Anyone who's registered may want to go back and check that their entries are correct, and remove the side-splitting remarks. :roll:

Blackpool require 5 million third party insurance. You should be able to get yours bumped up for the day for a nominal fee or free if yer lucky.

Plus I am trying to get the VIP lounge at the terminal as a mustering area following Pilot H's fine...

2D have you donked the previous thread? Now we'll have to start all over again. Ok which day suits everybody and what destination?

How about 5/6 th June to Quiberon.

A whole bunch of us from Shoreham are going to Honfluer for some fine food and a bit of relaxation. 8) 8)

We are staying at the Mercure in Honfleur if anyone would like to join us. I do have a 2 spare seats in an Archer but you may have to find...

Any takers? Destinations?
We could stage a wind up the ATCO at Bournemouth fly in making really stupid transmissions but we're all much too grown up and professional for that innit? :wink:

The first of the popular Devon Strut fly-ins takes place on 9th May at Bodmin Airfield. A warm welcome is assured and often get up to 60 aircraft at our fly-ins. Look at for further details of events.

I happen to have the day off today. Wasn't planning to fly, but the weather looks just about okay. So I thought I'd head for Kemble, probably arriving about 15:00 local. Would be nice to say hello if there's anyone else there!

Just a general reminder for those of you who choose your desitnation by 'whats on' , 'free landing vouchers' or 'what is there to eat' that every 2nd sunday of every month in season (eg: Easter Sunday), Popham has a fly-in, with free landings - no...

Anyone fancy a midweek lunch fest this week? Tomorrow and Wednesday look a bit rough.

What about Thursday @ Popham (bit close 4 me but I can fly about) or Compton Abbas perhaps?

Last one there buys the pud.

Smaller daughter wants to be with Grandmere for Easter, I don't want to pay Eurostar to get her there, and would like to fly her.

I'm skint, this is a 350 quid round trip.

Anybody fancy 6 hours in the air, on a nice VFR day sometime near the...

Today

I'm thinking of taking my mum & dad for a quick flight tomorrow from Booker. Thruxton looks a good bet - does anyone know if they do food on a Sunday? Even if it's only bacon sarnies, that would do.

We'll probably aim to be there 12 to 1300-ish,...

Oh no my clay pigeon shooting's been canned so I'll use the Arrow instead.

I fancy lunch somewhere with Mrs S and the little S's - Kemble probably 'cause I have yet to sample the delights of AV8 - anyone going to be there? - G-BLEW any chance...

whos been editing the Blackpool hanger site? :? :? Alot of gays on the site that were'nt there before.

2D How about a fly-in to support them?

The Donkey Family (or something like that :D ) will be in Le Touquet for lunch today. If you are likely to be there too and fancy meeting up, drop me a PM before about 0900 or keep an eye open for N666HM.

Late notice I know

Colonel Panic and I are meeting at Kemble for lunch today. Should anybody want to join us, you'll find us in the corner from about 12:30-12:45

weather permitting, I may do a trip to Alderney this coming saturday and could fit two or three learners who want to experience the overwater, SVFR process and may even return after dark (although thats only a maybe).

Any studes wishing to come...

I've got a business meeting in Cardiff for the day on Thursday and I'll be flying down from Cranfield. ETD from Cranfield will be about 09:00 and ETA back will be perhaps 17:00. Can't offer any entertainment whilst you are on ground in Cardiff since...

The Blackpool jolly has reminded Mavis to remind students that conventional practise for passengers (including students) is to cough up all landing fees and buy the pilots lunch. Put it another way if at any time you see his/ her hand reach into the...

A night fly-in to Leicester for one of their famous curry evenings.

Dinner is served at 7:00pm

Please register your interest here, so we can advise the restaurant of approximate numbers:

Got the Arrow booked this day - anyone got any suggestions for a destination - not North Weald and not Wolverhampton - somewhere I haven't been before I think - or somewhere I haven't been to for a long time.

This is a locked thread which will remain sticky till the fly out and give a link to where you can register.

The idea of Student fly outs is to give those of you training experience of what happens next. In addition we try to organise them to go...

This weekend being 21/02 and 22/02 ;)

Assuming this early morning mist clears (from my brain, as well as the atmosphere!) I'm hoping to be at Rochester to collect G-BSEP from her annual. It's going to be one of those scary take-offs after major...

Feel free to comment in the thread but the main thrust (no giggling in the back) of this is to find out what experience you, the studes, would prefer from the second Stude fly out.

The first was to le Touquet which gave Studes the experience of...

Sorry to shout but this section has been quiet for a few days. Time for another one of your cockup attempts at organising something. Practice makes perfect.

Hopefully nobody.

A change of plans means that I am likely to be coming to Bembridge directly from France, meaning that I will not be able to carry any passengers.

I have contacted the one person who I thought might be coming with me, only to...

Ladies & Gentlelmen

My name is Craig Richardson and i am a 20 year old male from Bury St Edmunds in suffolk.

i am a student pilot who is learning to fly a piper warrior PA28 160, 4 seater light aircraft.

i love everything there is to love...

Adrian has been playing it close to his chest but it is all go this Saturday. Decent weather has been organised so no excuses there.

So this is an ideal opportunity for all those SF's who drive to the flyins to get a life and take a small step...

Etc, etc.
Fab day out at Blackpool and great to see so many forum faces. Couldn't have wished for better weather.
Sunny stroll from the airport, greasy brekkie at seaside caff and 99s on the prom - can't beat it! 8)
