Dublin / Iron Maiden Bash
I am giving serious consideration to the Dublin Iron Maiden bash in December (see the Bashes forum if you haven't already). I'm not a great Maiden fan, but this does seem to fall into the category of "not to be missed opportunity".
I was wondering if many other Private Flying pprunes are going?
Cheers,
TallGuy.

I believe IainPoll is going. I, like you, felt it looked a bit unmissable (especially as I've never been on the flightdeck of an airliner and this looks like the only way I might now) but am grappling to overcome this urge as I can't really justify the expense. 
Why do it if it's not fun?

Unfortunately, I get back from America the day before. Although it's tempting to just sit in Gatwick for the day, and then fly out to Dublin the following day, my boss wasn't too happy about me extending my holiday
I'm sure it will be a fantastic gig, and a fantastic bash, though, even without me there!

Hope to see you there Tom.
Awwww, come on Penguina, it's only money. You've got the rest of your life to pay back the bank, but this opportunity will not come round again!
Besides, I've got a plan to make it cheaper
Which side of the bed do you want ?

I've still got the scar from where I was hit round the head with an iron by Bruce Dickinson at Oundle School, 30 years ago.
He's a pilot, isn't he? I wonder if he is on this forum?

Bruce flies out of LGW for Astraeus, as does Danny (Capt PPRuNe). Hence the bash!
Not sure if Bruce himself posts on the Forum. This could be a good opportunity to start ....

WCollins - yes, he is very well known on the forums, and has fronted the band at many a GatBash in the past. I believe he's actually going to be sitting in the right-hand seat of the jet that's been chartered for the bash. (And Hamrah in the left, I think? I'm sure there are details somewhere in the bashes forum, anyway.)
I haven't had the chance to chat to him at the couple of GatBashes that I've been to - but I'm sure that he wouldn't hold something that happened 30 years ago against you if the roles were reversed!

Absolutely gutted !
I'm a big Iron Maiden fan and go on holiday for 2 weeks on 1st December (booked before the tour dates were announced !), so I miss all the UK gigs !
I also have a PPL and love flying - boy would I love to have been able to go on this bash !! Lets hope its a great success and another one is arranged in the future.
To round it all off, I was also offered the chance to 'sit-in' on a training session in one of the Airbus simulators at Heathrow - 1st or 2nd of December !
It never rains but it pours !!!

.... better not tell Smurph though.
There'll be plenty of room. How much space can an alta-ego need?
Mind you, knowing the size of some of the egos on PPRuNe ....
(this forum excepted, of course).
