PPRuNe Return to Popham Fly-In 29 August.

[High Wing Drifter]

I would like to vote for the weekend of the 27th as a fave date too. With 20th a possibility.

[Kolibear]

Make it 29th August & I'll buy the teas.

[distaff_beancounter]

I hope to be there too.

Not sure yet whether it will be by air or by car.

[Irv]

If anyone hasn't visited before and wants a brief on any particular approach, please 'pm' or something.
When the date's definitely fixed, I need to warn our resident spotter and maybe the kitchen. The former has been nagging me for a while about 'when is the next PPRUNE fly-in to Popham?'. He seemed particularly pleased with the last one but I can't remember why in particular.

[distaff_beancounter]

Has the date been fixed yet, please?

[BRL]

29th looks good.

Aug 26th? A Monday?

Is that a bank holiday in the UK?

Just curious. I won't be able to make it, in any case.

[skydriller]

Sorry, cant make it, back in France a couple of days before...

[Brooklands]

Got the plane booked, of course because its a Bank Holiday its certain to pour down with rain.

Brooklands

[LowNSlow]

Can't make the 29th, will on my Hols

[Whirlybird]

Hope to make it. LOng time since I've been to a Private Flying fly-in.

[Brooklands]

Look forward to seeing all of those who manage to make it. I will be joined by Wycombe. Unfortunately the special suprise guest who I was hoping to bring can't make it.

EGLB

[Genghis the Engineer]

I shall be there, what in I'm not sure - as I've an aeroplane on the field and another 7 miles away I'll make it up as I go along.


Couple of admin points:-

- Has somebody told Dick? He likes to know about such things, and if it's official-ish might waive landing fees!

- If anybody wants to use the trip for some strip practice, I'm a member at Chilbolton(Stonefield Park) 7m SW of EGHP, and would be happy to do a brief, etc. (Chilbolton is 410m with an interesting approach, but very friendly).

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

The trembling, heavily disguised wreck hiding in the corner might be me.. Just keep the lynch mobs away.

[Wycombe]

...trying hard not to feel like a poor substitute to the "celebrity" that Brooklands was hoping to bring

[BRL]

Genghis, thanks for volunteering to tell Dick and try and get a discount or something, much appreciated indeed!!

As usual, if anyone from Shoreham/Redhill/Chichester is going and has a spare seat let us know

Brooklands, who was it going to be????????
