I hope to be there too. So far I've tried to attend Old Warden PPRuNe events two years in a row, both of which have been washed out. I'm hoping that this might be third time lucky!

Just phoned O-W for PPR and it looks as though it will be very busy 9:30 -10:30. ATC not opening until 10:00.
Look forward to seeing you all there.
M-o-t-F - photos of me on finals will be appreciated, photos of my landings will NOT!!

Doh!!!!
Makes sense really.
Hope to see you all there, I'll be the short fat one taking photos (as opposed to DB who will be the tall fat one ..... )
Do pop over and say hi.

Well it's looking very much as though I'll be up for an hour out of Cambridge at 10.30 (doing some prep for my QXC the next day), after which I'll be driving across to OW for the rest of the afternoon. Should be good fun...

Who Else Will be In Fancy Dress?
I've got a 40 minute slot at 09:00 from Wycombe - and will be dressed in period costume...well, it is only once every hundred years, so I can afford to look like a pillock!!

How about in between your landings? I note you did offer them in the plural!
Robin and I should be at Old Warden in the Luscombe G-BTCH, arriving around 09:50

Stik - MOTF is yer man for landing shots, I won't be arriving til later on, hopefully in time for the Reds flypast and afternoon flying.
MOTF - you can always try being a freeloader on the roadside prior to 10AM, say hi to Hairyplane when he turns up to rip you a new one though.

We have a cunning plan
3 of us from Glasgow Flying Club will be attempting 100 take-offs and 100 landings in a PA28 on the day !! Starting at 8am, with a couple of fuel stops, we reckon on 6-7 hrs of circuits at sunny Islay with the 100th landing planned for Prestwick at 3.35pm. ...... 100 years to the minute ! If you're over at Islay, please don't cut us up on finals as we'll need pretty tight circuits all day !!

Old Warden
There is a runway inspection tomorrow afternoon, I'll post the results as soon as I know . I aim to be at OW by 9ish on Weds but will need to inspect the place first. Once you can get an answer on 01767 627563 you'll know we are there!
