Flying at Tilstock

Hello, I have flown jumpers at Tilstock for ten years and should point out that we are constantly on the lookout for "bandits" who blithely fly through the drop zone. It's instructive and sometimes scary to listen to replies when RAF Shawbury LARS politely inform pilots of the drop zone and it's obvious some are flying either without charts or without looking at them or maybe not understanding the symbols and squiggles printed on them. Parachute DZs are busy places so it's wise to take precautions.

If you want to fly there, best give the DZ a ring direct. Lots of DZs accept fly-in visitors even during jumping days.

Thanks to the OP for raising the subject

DR
