G-vfwe 2004
I see theG-VFWE is to be held at Abingdon next year on May 14th-16th.This superb event is now the only major Uk event I regard as a must do!.Do hope the Air Traffic and arrival procedures are improved on those at Kemble this year.I,m lucky Hairyplane has asked me to fly one of his delightful Miles aircraft to the event tough old life!!.See you all there.

They couldn't possibly be worse. Maybe it's the totally incompetent ATC experienced by departing (especially) pilots from Kemble last year that has persuaded the organisers to go elswhere for this otherwise superb event this year.

Just a thought but who needs ATC anyway. It is after all the vintage weekend and there wasn't too much radio first time around. Suggest the marshals from North Weald or the Cadets from the PFA Rally could do the job for departure and the pilots could revert to Mark One eyeball for arrival. Sorted !!

Usually it is the CAA that insist on full ATC at such events because of the volume of traffic. At least with ATC you can then use the Land After procedure. Without ATC you cannot (Rule 17(7)(b)), Mark One eyeball or otherwise.
