Dear all,
16th September 2006, There wll be a Fly-In, Lunch and Evening Party- Piss up here at the "Soaring Centre" at Husbands Bosworth Airfield. All Aviators and Enthusiasts are welcome to visit the premier Gliding Site of the u.k.
I hope to be able to post more details shortlyish, but the Club's Website will give a few more details on how to find us by Air or Road. See WWW.thesoaringcentre.co.uk for some further information.
Sorry if this post is a bit Vague, but the more interest that is shown, the more Beer we shall need to order:ok:
It is also the Occasion this Year of the 60th Anniversary of the Chipmunk. We have 5 Chipmunks operating here and three of them have been working hard for the last twenty years or so, hauling Gliders into the Air. They deserve a bit of a Party as well:D !
I hope that you will be able to join in with us in what will be a great day!
We look forward to seeing you and your Aircraft here soon:)
Happy Landings,
Shockload
P.S you are welcome to contact us on 01858 880807 and i'll be happy to give you any further information:8

I'm not sure Lasham would agree! ;)

On a serious note though, it should be a good day. I'll try and make it down - no promises I'm affraid.

Thanks A V 8,
Who's Lasham? He probably drinks Lager anyway:p
Sorry folks, I'm just being cheeky:O Husbos did host the Junior World Championships last year and also a few handy Glider Pilots have been produced from here in recent years.
We also have some pretty good Party Animals here as well:} So come on Lager Boys and Girls, bring your Kites, Sleeping Bags and lets Party:ok:
Any volunteers for the job of No. 3 Engine when we play a game of "Shackleton Bomber"??:D

I was '3rd' engine' once. Unfortunately for the extinguishers I still had a full(-ish) pint and exacted my revenge with a shower of 'coolant'! :E

Hello Kevmusic and airac,
We had a young lad once who had progressed from No.3 Engine to becoming a very good Skipper! Unfortunatly for him there was a "Fire in the Cockpit" call, He he!:ok:
All are welcome to come for a Visit and Beer or Three in the Evening. Even the good old Boys and Girls at Coventry! The 'Flyers' shall be in the Post shortly Chaps.
Spamcans, Stringbags and Steamrollers are all welcome to join the Circuit on the Day;)

This is starting to sound more like a rugby party than a fly-in!

Hello UV,

Sorry, maybe I have been told porkies about you and the 'Microwaved guinness' thing.:oh:

Do come and visit soon though. We have a Regionals here this week and there is just about enough space at the bar for you. The 5 second rule does apply however!;)

Keep cool,
