... and if you are in the Far SW drop in at the Devon Strut SW Regional Fly-in at Dunkeswell on the 14th-15th August

A low-key but friendly event at one of the best GA airfields in the country with unrivalled access to visiting aircraft.

We'll be having a pig-roast on Saturday evening with a live band - Steelhead - at the Air Centre.

If you'd like to try the cavery on Sunday, give the Air Centre a call to book in as it is very popular

See you there :ok:

now at yeovilton on 11th only - (at NQY on 10th)

At Yeovilton.....??!!! Well that'll be interesting, considering where I work, the manning we've got, hope he won't be expecting any handling, cause the RN are on block leave!
Plus the weather has been dire today. Are they expecting to get a DA (Display Authorisation) from anyone in particular?

Please, please do give some more information.....:ok:

The two captains plus a CAA inspector took the aircraft somewhere else as, despite previously getting the thumbs up, someone else at Yeovilton threw their toys out of the pram!. (there was never any intention of landing there).

Exactly who "threw out their toys" then?
I would love to know......no seriously I would!!:ok:
