HI I flew down to 24hrs in 2006 from South Wales with two friend in an R44 the trip was great the only problem was accomodation. fortunately we were guests of a car manufacturer so were able to get in and had really good seats. If you are going book accomodation well in advance.. Have a good trip

Once flew around the track at 50ft in a sporty helo. Unfortunately they weren't racing at the time. Airfield were very hospitable when we were weather'd in for a few days. JD

I have also flown round the track, but while they where racing. this was in 2005. the ride was only short but well worth the long lines of people waiting for a go.

Sounds like it could be fun. I am planning on going down and fortunately accomodation is not a problem as my friend is one of those wealthy farmers and has bought a place down there !! :ok:

We are staying 60 miles to the south and are hoping to fly in and out. Do they restrict landings on race or practice days do you know?
