FNG, Cap 10b G-BXFE, with Pprune Dispatcher as nav, from White Waltham
and not forgetting Flying For Fun, whose idea it was in the first place, I assume in Supercub G-WLAC, from Waltham (that right, FFF?)

I'm in - but unlikely to be able to get use of a club aeroplane all day at a weekend, so may have to drive (boo...) unless someone from East Anglia or East Mids area fancies a cost-sharer...

Genghis, add me as a probable, Champ'ing from Goodwood, with Evo7 as nav. But .... the Aeronca Club are hosting the US Classics fly-in that weekend at Kemble, so I will be looking for the optimum way to combine the two.. .Slip.

Is this going to be a one-day event, or are we turning it into a weekender? How about a pyjama party, BBQ, and campout? <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

I agree with arrow2. Should we not check with dick first to make sure that it doesn't clash with one of his events. They have one or two microlight fly-ins during the summer. I can't do it as I'll be abroad for the next two weeks.

PS I'll be arriving in a Volvo 850 as I've just sold my aircraft (it was Popham based anyway).

Genghis, sorry, strike me off, I'll be in the land of your namesake (Kazakhstan) then. I can do it on the weekend of 11/12 May or 15/16 June. Shame, haven't been to Popham for a while. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
Cap'n why don't you borrow the boy's Cub? Or won't he let Dad drive
If it does get rescheduled due to my begging or Dick being occupied on the 1st I can offer a lift to anybody who needs a lift with 50 or so miles of Luton. It's an Auster, Not a 73 so short runways are not a problem <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
Would you prefer to travel by Auster or Volvo Cap'n A?

Prefer the Auster any day, just stay away from those Cb's <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> . .I'm free 11th/12th May if Dick says no to the 1st June. When are you going to bring your Auster down to WW LowNSlow?

Just 'cos I tried to pull a list together, doesn't mean I'm volunteering to be in charge of anything but me and my aeroplane.
Having said that, if nobody's been able to have a word with Dick by then, I can probably drop by there next weekend for a word with him.

I read this Popham visit in the other thread and quietly put Dick on major BBQ alert for June 1st over a week ago. He says you're all very welcome, and of course if you need arrival briefs, just ask.
Also, I've started talking to 'nearby licensed airfields' to see if they will offer any student/instructor combinations any cheap/free deal to stop off before and after Popham to allow logging time for any student taking part to be counted towards the 45. It would be a shame to come any distance on a PPL Navex and not log it. Obviously in the grand scheme of things, getting two extra landings cheap or free will not make a huge difference, but every little helps, and I guess when learning, every extra airfield helps too.
