Private Flying European Fly In.
Suggestions please for a place and date for a European fly-in.
My suggestions are: L2K or anywhere in Ireland and the date I suggest is 29 July or 4th/5th August.
Please use this thread to suggest place and dates. After a week or so we will see where is popular and when and decide from that.
Thanks.

Well doesn't seem to be much interest!
If I can get a club plane booked for a day or 2 (busy time of year for club planes) then I will definatley be up for it.

I'm happy with Deauville. It has a restaurant at the airport with a good reputation (imaginatively titled Restaurant de l'Aeroport I think). The only downside is that it's an expensive taxi ride into town - about EUR 35 each way for Honfleur. I probably wouldn't bother going into town though.
Any takers for Saturday 14th July?

I can't believe you tight *rsed pilots are put off a trip to one of the most beautiful towns in France by a 20 quid each way taxi-ride, when you can save this (and then some) by the fuel drawback.
I don't post on PPRUNE much but as my planned trip to Deauville last week was clobbered by fog I might even be up for this.
I'll pay for a taxi : the rest of you tight-*rsed gits can walk.................
Safe flying
Cusco.

Yes, maybe that is a bit tight 
. Honfleur is lovely, but I've been a number of times before and stayed overnight too. So the thought of paying an extra £50 for a quick walk round the harbour and a visit to a chocolate shop seemed unappealing.
[Edited to add...]
I'll be flying from Cranfield and should be able to take at least one other. I'll probably fly IFR in the airways, so it may be a good opportunity for someone who's thinking about doing an IR and wants to see what you get for your money.
Dates are difficult for me. I can definitely do either the 14th/15th July or the 25th/26th August, but anything in between is unlikely.

Well, buggered if I'm flying to Deauville then just eating at the airfield, I'm still voting for a taxi into Honfleur. A really pretty town with some fabulous restaurants. Somebody proposed 14th July, I'll second that 
If I can get a club plane for the day then count me in. If not does any fancy a pit stop at Filton?
