View Full Version : Private Flying Visit to Swanwick.
Hi all. I am sorting out a forum visit to Swanwick for around six people. The date is yet to be arranged but can be worked around the people who will be going.
I know there are many here who like these visits, and also NATS like to get the opinions of PPL's on these visits too so both sides win!
There is also a chance of having a go on the simulator there :ok:
Stick your name down here if you would like to visit Swanwick.

Me first, BRL!
I did visit W Drayton many years ago (like 15) so it would be good to see what goes on at Swanwick.
Dates?
You are more than welcome. I don't know the date yet but will post it as soon as I get one.
Watch out for a visit to West Drayton coming up soon too. :)

I'll be up for that one too (time permitting)...saved my bacon once.
BRL,
Please put me on the list, have not seen a major ATC centre since I was an engineer on Linesman/Mediator 1971-75 and now I'm a PPL I'd like to see how things have changed!

Would love to go to Swanwick - please add me to your list BRL.
Have done the West Drayton one though.
p.s. I haven't forgotten your night flight over the lights of Brighton, just waiting on the magic wording on my licence!! But don't let that sway you :} :E

BRL,
Is this likely to be mid week or a weekend?
Are you talking about over the Christmas break, or in Jan/Feb?
If it was a weekend in Jan/Feb I would be interested in picking up a Ryanair across for the weekend.

I am not sure on the dates yet, if you put down here when you can/can't make it we can work around that.
More later, I am late for work!!!

Yes Please!
I'll even bring my own bacon sarnies if necessary.

I'd be interested in a visit to Swanwick. Where is it?:O
Actually, I'd like to see West Drayton too, so at the risk of being awkward, could you put me down for the one nearest to S. Essex.
Thanks.

BRL,
Would love the chance to visit - I can only do weekends though, so if it's during the week, disregard me!
Anyone know if there's somewhere decent to land nearby - but not Southampton as I can;t afford it anymore! :ok:

Hi,
That sounds like a great idea. Please count me in, but like others, I can really only do a weekend.

Hi BRL,
Did you manage to sort anything out, or is it too over-subscribed?
DW
Yep, it should be around mid-January.
I will post more nearer the time itself. :)

Ahem! And just when will that be? :O
Well, it has gone a bit quite on this one for a while. I will email our sponsor tonight and see if he has a date for us.
As soon as I know I will post it here. :)
