TVSB - Bequia

[cambioso]

Please can anyone give experience of flying into Bequia in the Grenadines?
I'm more interested in the runway surface, handlers (if any) and rules and regs.
We would prob be flying in from St Maartens.
Sorry to trouble, but I can't find anything in the usual publications.
Thanks (as always),
Jez

I used to run a Charter Yacht out of Bequia and lived there for several years and often went to the airstrip.
Contact SVG Air in St Vincent....I am sure the nice folks there will help you out.

Thanks very much Loerie, I have spoken to them (aren't they nice :-) ) and spoken to the Controller at the airfield. All looking good.
Thanks again,
Jez

jez you don't half get about... I'm sitting here freezing my tits off and you're swanning about living the life of reilly..

This job isn't exactly "swanning about" Tom - as anyone who knows us will testify!!
But we do, (occasionally) get to go to some interesting places usually at quite short notice, hence me continually pestering you Guys for info on places I've never heard of.
The feedback and advice available on prune is always appreciated.
If it makes you feel any better, at the moment I'm freezing my cobbs off in Banbury (Caribb in 9 days hurrah!!).

Life of Reilly dear boy! Freezing your cobs off...yeah right....in the Jungmeister maybe :ok: I've seen your log burner remember.

So my perf. figures are looking a little more favourable?:}

Ooh yes, it's freezing there. It minus 20 here and two days ago it was minus 25 and 35G50 at the same time.

Banbury, the well known vortex of violent weather..
