Hi all....
Anyone know of a web site where I can find airfield plates for Switzerland? I'm sure it exists somewhere!
Thanks in anticipation

Not quite what you are looking for but http://www.mfvs.ch/mfvs.html and http://www.nelly.ch/01map.html
are links to clickable maps which provide links to web sites for most of the airfields in Switzerland. Quite a few of these have copies of plates and other useful info.
However I have not been able to find the equivalent of the UK's AIP on line.

Why not buy the Bottlang - that way you'll have all the plates in case of last-minute changes to plan. Alternatively mine are up-to-date so you could borrow them if you promise to give them back.

The airfield plates are all there on the Eurocontrol website. The AIP for every Eurocontrol country is there - some better quality than others, but all current and useable.
You need a login ID, and some specific software (all downloadable, free), and you need to learn to drive it - it's not particularly intuitive.
For a single trip that will probably do you. If you go regularly, I'd recommend Bottlang if you're VFR, and whichever of the IFR guides suits your taste for the other thing.
