Cholmondeley Pageant of Power 2012

[MightyGem]

Anyone have a frequency to call, just incase we get a job down that way. Thanks.

The helicopter operation this year is being run Heli-Support Ground Services Ltd. They have published this info:

The landing site will be operating an Air/Ground Service Callsign "Chumley Radio" Frequency: 122.050 Mhz. Only call Chumley at and within 5miles.

Many thanks.

Hope it's a great day. I will miss this year as my gearbox has only just left France to be reunited with the ship!

I missed this in 2012 due weather, but anyone know if flying in will be possible this year? On the CPOP website they talk about chartering in (Whizzard helicopters) but no mention of flying in yourself.

206, I think the website page Fly in to CPOP (http://www.cpop.co.uk/fly-in-to-cpop) is just an advert.

It says, "our fleet of helicopters will fly you or your group directly to Cholmondeley‘s Heliport located right in the centre of the event.", which suggests to me that it might be more fruitful to try this link Contact Us (http://www.cpop.co.uk/contact-us)

Or by using info gained from post #2;

I think it is free entry if you fly yourself in as they are keen to encourage visitors by helicopter

From the Heli Support Fly In Booking Form;

Please note, landing and entry to the Pageant for all the helicopter passengers is free but there is a £35 (per day) ground handling administration charge for each day you intend to visit the Pageant which must be paid alongside submitting the above form. If no payment is recieved, your application will be void and you will not be permitted landing or entry to the Pageant.

Bit of a cheek really as they want us to be part of the attraction

Now. just where does it say that?
Besides, £35 for the ac parking and free entry for all its passengers, sounds like a very good deal to me. Especially considering the gate price entry is £35 per person!

I'd happily pay £35 for the car parking if the whole family gets in free :ok:
