DX Wombat,
I'm also looking forward to a natter with some of your gentlemen.
Our Chipmunk WD390 will be available for a few local trips and may display along with other aircraft provided by the airfield.
On the subject of charges, I believe that the direct costs to the airfield of making additional facilities and staffing available to host this event at relatively short notice far far exceed the nominal sum mentioned. Additionally, the owners have personally offered to fly their hardware at their own expense for the benefit of the visitors.
Sad to note that one of our members should continue to use this event to wield a practised corrosive wooden spoon.
