Flew into last year's rally at Kemble Whirly, and was quite nervous before doing so.
Arrived about 10:30 on the Saturday, and ended up line astern to about about 4 or 5 aircraft on final. Departed about 16:00.
Actually found the departure more disconcerting - with the huge discrepancies between climb rates and speeds of the wide range of aircraft, coupled with the restricted view ahead in the climb. I had aircraft less than 100 yards directly above and below me at one point, and while I could see both, wasn't sure they could see me.
Did have Mrs M9 with me as an extra pair of eyes, but overall it was far less daunting and considerably more enjoyable than I'd anticipated. Just keep a good lookout, go for it, and enjoy!
PS if you fancy an extra lookout, feel free to drop into Upfield Farm and pick me up on route!
