Old and Current Freight Dogs Air Contractors

Calling all you ex Air Contractors or indeed current ones and all conected with the great European payed holiday we used to call Eurotrans. If you are Ex 727/Airbus and are interested in a get together this summer, please append your names to this thread. The venue will be Yorkie Towers EGBE and will probably be a megga thrash if you all come out of the woodwork.
BBQ/Beer/self generated entertainment and above all, lots of pull up a sand bag stories!!!
Spread the word and leave contact numbers on my PM.
This is well overdue so give it your best shot. Uncle Eamon and the lovely Ginette await your company!!
All you that live miles away, am sure the Towers will be able to provide you with somewhere to rest your head. Also Coventry is a good GA airfield if you fancy a fly in. (Tea total types of course)
Anyway, get responding and be sure to let ACL ops know so they can come as well as spreading the word.
Regards
Coopervane & Bear

Hey come on Guys!!

Hey where are you all??? Spread the word and lets have some response!!!!!!

We can't please everyone although summer in Oulu would be good with all that midnight sun. Still staying at the same hotel??? Loved Oulu.(and Oulu loved Hogg!!) One place I would love to revisit along with Bari!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT Yorkie Towers is the place. Will be doing some ringing round but if anyone could ask Ops to print something on the rosters, that might stir some support!

When I have some idea of the numbers, will post details of when and how to get there.

Coop & keep em coming Bear

Consider it done Coop will ask to get it out on mayfly/roster asap..

When are you thinking about, hopefully a few of us paddies will be able to make the crossing.

By the way Sea-Mouse stag is in DUB on Sat 08th April.... Open invitation I think to all scumbags... By the sound of it there'll be a gang of old timers around that weekend.

Thumbs up

Hi
Coop...rooms in The Glengary are available free of charge on the night however, on a first come first served basis and booked thro' me by PM.

Really looking forward to seeing you all again and in anticipation of a good turn out I will be willing to provide a bit of live entertainment and a Buffet in our newly erected '727 suite' (ok, it might be a tent in the back garden but its a b~~~dy big one fully kitted out...bit like the 72' itself !) so come on everyone, contact coops and lets get a date sorted out.

regards
