Tatenhill -Derby Excellent

[Do you know who I am]

I had the pleasure of visiting Tatenhill in Derby on Sunday. It has a few grass strips and a tarmac strip ideal for our Seneca 5. It really is a great field, they are very friendly and the lady in the tea room was lovely.

Well worth a visit but remember to fly over Alton Towers on the way, if your ever going into Derby you know your nearly there by the big white factory (Toyota) it's massive. I like Derby Airfield but with trees on the approach/take off I now opt for Tatenhill. Have a go at Derby if you want some short field fun, check the pooleys lol.

Hope your all well.

Do you know who I am

Yes, we do...and we know where you live. Bring the money, or else the dog gets it.


Glad you enjoyed Tatenhill. Always a favourite.

Was also at Tatenhill Sunday in the old, slow, yellow Cub.

Echo the sentiment re: the lady in tea room. Excellent bacon sarnie.

Hope to visit again soon.

Have they still got the Silver Antonov2 there? Wouldn't mind a bash in one of those things!

AN-2 wasn't there tonight as we flew over, haven't seen it for a few days now. It's probably still somewhere between late downwind and base leg...

It was there on Sunday morning when I went in for fuel. Normally parked on the disused runwayat the Northern end.

If I'm instructing at Tatenhill next Saturday, I'll pass on your comments to the tea lady; she'll be delighted. And if you happen to see an R22 whizzing up and down with a different student every half hour on a Saturday, come and say hi.

Tatenhill was by first land away trip after gaining my PPL.

Send my aplogies to the tea room lady, I promised I'd put a flyer up in our club, but somehow lost it.

Good excuse to return for a bacon buttie !

... and for a small fee, Margaret (the tea lady) will bake your Christmas cake!
