G-APDK - it's Old Sarum Flying Club's aircraft, and I'd bet that someone, if not myself, from the club will be flying it to North Weald. If not, perhaps they should be IMHO!
Pitts2112 – Thanks for the info, that pub looks very nice, even more so as I understand from the Google map, it's a short walk away from the airstrip! I have a couple of friends who fly PA-28s, and I'm sure they'd love to meet up for a meal (as we'd be flying in from different parts of the UK) so we may well pay a visit or two, with the owner's permission & prior contact of course.
Flyin’ Dutch – that weekend looks very good, and I’m just starting to work my way through the thread – unfortunately for me, it clashes with my local village’s real ales/cider festival weekend! Sadly, I’ll have to make a choice between one or the other, as I’m certainly not going flying for at least a day or two after that particular village event.
robin – must agree, I appreciate the airspace around the South West having trained at Denham. Will certainly be making the effort to attend at least one fly-in if not more.
WR - Will certainly be taking QDM up on the offer, in fact most probably on the way to Lundy! As long as the flying club's fine with me going (although I shall probably go after I've got a few more hours on the aircraft and a few different airstrips) I hall pay a visit. It looks quite interesting.
Thanks for the replies – if anyone’s got any more suggestions or info it’d be most welcome.
