PPRuNe Fly-in

[New Bloke]

Okay, it's looking good. Is this Sherburn anywhere near Wombleton? The reason I am asking is we could maybe all pop over to the Europa factory (if we asked them nicely).

I have ordered my new chart, so I will have to flight plan using two charts, Nothern Git and Southern Nancy.

Do the people who own this field know we are comming? I'm sure they won't mind but if one of the suggesstors could give them a call, I'm sure they would appreciate it.

If I could have some idea of numbers, Those who are flying up and those who require a lift.

I will have 2 seats available (yes the Missus does want to come) and will be in a Fuji.

So far I think R22 may come in his R22
Beagler will be there in his Beagle
Hungry Pilot will be there in his pentium PIII 800meg with 128 meg of RAM and FS2000 profesional edition.

Shall I put a note in Aircrew Notices ?

GulfstreamV.....A Fuji? do we know each other, are we co-owners?

[rightstuffer]

Sherburn in Elmet is West of York, just south of the Linton on Ouse MATZ. If you're following the A1 North, cross the M62 at the Ferrybridge Power Station and its a few miles north-east of there.

I'll undertake to let them know at Sherburn - if there are any problems I'll come straight back.

Are we all wearing carnations and carrying copies of the FT???

I'll be in my AA-5 G-MOGI. Easy to spot, good looking, modest, dashing, rich,(did I mention good looking and modest), debonair etc etc

See y'all there...

New Bloke, love the Hungry Pilot comment

Is it just me or has he/she gone all quiet lately? Watch for new names, see if you can guess who he comes back as.

Well my Arrow 4 is sick (needs a new crankcase and a zero timed engine and "loads 'a money") so am trying to persuade "Cityflyer" to get one of her many aircraft so we can join in the party!! Watch this space.

Also suggest a new thread in PPRuNe Bashes forum to draw attention to all and sundry.

G5,

If that is for me I am at Blackbushe - CityFlyer is at Little Gransden and Stapleford. Why do you ask??

Hi G5,

Yes I know your aircraft well - a long established EGLK group is it not.... I am in the G-BOJI group - one of 10 parked on the "stub" at the Bushe - the silver / white T tailed Arrow.

Dearest arrow2, it is with deep regret that I will not be able to entertain you with my gut wrenching flying style. I'm off to Old Warden that day to pursue my aerobatics. However, I do have a spare seat in the back of the Chipmunk. Interested? Sick bag supplied. Entertainment guaranteed.

I too will have to buy a new southern nancy map but it looks to me like I could do it in about 2 hours or so from Aberdeen in my trusty C172.

As long as the wx is half decent I reckon I could probably make this.

Now then, anyone want picked up on my way south ??

Newbloke,

Cool site, I am responsible for our Fujigroup site, although it still needs some time on it.

www.fujigroup.co.uk

I shall add your site to my links, if thats ok.

See you soon.

I've asked Sherburn Aero Club if they mind us coming and they say they'll be very pleased to see us.

If you could manage PPR by telephone that would be good, if not, then a call to Sherburn radio on 122.6
Church Fenton should be closed on the Saturday, but just in case you're coming from the north, give them or Linton a check call on 126.5

[New Bloke]

what can we do once we are all there?

Looking at each others planes is fine but then what?

Any ideas gratefully accepted

[JB007]

Would love to come, did the PPL at Sherburn but unfortunatly will be stuck in a classroom !

If the weathers good, It's a great place for a BBQ.

Have a good day guys,

Cheers

NewBloke, rightstuffer and Cahliban, thanks for the offer of a lift and the offer of a bunk for the night rightstuffer. The Cub is based at Rush Green (tiny-549m x 8m, invisible grass strip next to a car scrapyard 5 miles West of Luton) so it's enroute for Newbloke but I can also tie in with Cahliban cos it's close to Stevenage.
How about following Beagler's idea and having a gathering of Pprunes (a vine? a can? a bowl?) at a suitable hostelry on the Friday pm?

[LowNSlow]

I've posted a message in the Pprune Bashes Forum to see if any of the jet drivers / crew are interested in coming along.

NewBloke, excellent crack about HungryPilot

Just had the news that a Friday night away is verboten that weekend so I'll have to settle for the Saturday fly-in. B*gger

Is that the one just down the road from the Lyton Arms near Old Knebworth? I used to live in Datchworth and the Lyton was one of my favorite watering holes.

If you could send me some plates, (homemede of course) I will check our insurance and give it a go. Other than that, you could drive to Panshangar and I will pick you up there.
