Badminton Airfield - Horse Trials

[Avalon]

:cool: Looking forward to seeing you all at Badminton this weekend (Friday - Sunday). Weather forecast is promising, lots of parking available and if you're not interested in horses there's lots of other things to see and do.

Two things though:
Do book in advance for an arrival slot on Saturday morning. (01454 218333)
Do have a careful pre-flight look at the ample Controlled Airspace near-by.

Almost certainly will be using RW 07 at the weekend by the look of the weather forecast.

Nice long runway, but with certain wind directions (Sout/East) there is turbulence on short final, from trees at the threshold and (more awkward) half-way down the strip to the south.

Not too hard though, so give a try!

I also forgot to mention that if you're coming on Friday there is gliding activity to avoid at the near-by Hullavington airfield, (Junc 17 M4?) and on Saturday evening there are a some aerobatics just west of Badminton at Doddington House apparently.
I might be serving cream teas Friday tea time if anyone is in need of refreshment......!:O
