16th for me, too.

Perhaps we should all wear a red carnation to enable identification.

Not bothering with this one. Why pay £18 to get in to see just some of the exhibitors that you could see at Popham, Aerofair, PFA, Telford, but without the aircraft.
you cant fly in and all the hassle of getting in to central London.
and it clashes with Sun+Fun too
I cant see there being many people there, so you should be able to find your mates easily!

A tad cynical there Mr cub!

Putting GA on centre stage at a prime exhibition centre, in one of Europe's most important capital cities, just doesn't compare with an "Enthusiasts" meet up at an obscure airfield. Besides which, those events aren't about to disappear, so it's not either/or.

Good luck to them! Both!

Geee, Mr Cub..you must be a bundle of fun to fly with.



Besides, the cost was £11 if you had bought in advance.

I'll look out for the carnations on the 17th. Should be fun..I hope.

At least being indoors, it might have half a chance of not being rained off... *eyes weather forecast for this weekend with a grimace*

I'll be going, not sure which day yet.

I'll be there too but working for some of the days. Not quite sure where I'll be working yet but, put it this way, I won't need to wear a red carnation.

Anyone fancy meeting in the bar for a beer at some point? There appears to be a Breitling bar and a Guinness Fly! Bar although I have no idea what the exclamation mark is for.

I'll probably be working there all three days. Look for a big burger van with the piccie of a back of a flying helmet on it, and I'll be there.

If I'm not, then I've obviously decided to turn down the kind offer of work !

I shan't be going as london really is not my idea of a fun venue and has been pointed out already, I can't fly in.


However, I do believe that JadeAir are putting on a series of mini-workshops concerning the Superior XP, basically a PMA manufactured conglomeration of Lycoming bits that when put together Meccano fashion gives you an O360 or an IO360.

I would be v interested in any feedback from attendees as my current build project continues apace but has no donk to strap on the front.
