I'll be there as a home-based pilot. Not sure the Bulldog's alternator will be fixed in time though.

AirBabe,

I thought you would have a PPRuNe tent sorted.

We will be in from Belfast in the TB20, would be nice to meet a few other PPRuNers

Hi there vintage ATCO,

If your in the tower at 10.30 remember those of us who have been up there for a couple of hours and might need a pee.

I'll land long or short or anywhere but no long holds please.

TB20, G-TOAK

Vintage ATCO: You don't need to make a date with me, just whistle. Will you be stuck up the tower all day, or will you be allowed time out for good behaviour?

Can someone who knows the layout of Aerofair suggest a sensible place to meet at 12 ish for orange juice?

The few times that I have been there was no beer tent or something of that ilk.

May be we could meet in the Flyer tent.

As the Aerofair is over on the market site again this year, The Squadron buildings will be closed, but they will have a marquee selling beer, soft drinks etc and the BBQ outside on the Aerofair site. Last year it was down towards 02/20.

Meet there at 12-ish?

Perhaps someone who owns a PPRuNe hat could be there first and we'll all find each other.

They'll be held at noon on Saturday; you're all welcome to use our wigwam as a meeting point whenever, we should be able to do coffee etc.

Look forward to seing you all then.

Might pop in by road, although I must confess that I was somewhat less than whelmed by the event when I visited in a previous year by air (very good ATC though).

Rallye Driver, it's a pain about the alternator on the Dog isn't it? I was reduced to flying scruffy old G-IPUP the other day, but it's a sweet old thing (I did my skill test in it a few years ago, after first solo in G-TSKY) . Are you one of the Dog's owners, or just one of Roger's renters like me?

The Flyer awards are going to be handed out on Saturday at noon so that may make gathering there a bit less easy.

The venue mentioned by RD may be a better option if we want to stick to 1200.

Yes, I'm a 'rent boy' so to speak!

We had the alternator fail on us going to Abingdon Fayre, but the low voltage light didn't come on, so we ended up losing radios, flaps, everything.

I gather they now need a fixing bracket.

It always happens when the weather gets better. At least it's looking good for the weekend this time.
