Question Fly In?

I am a bit confused. The fly in is in Kemble or Leicester? What date and what time?
By the way, have you checked if the airfields are open and sell fuel? Some are shut/ reduced service.

Thanks.

AC-DC We're still chatting by e-mail to find a date that suits most people before we flag it up as a thread. Sit tight and watch this space...

I think Kemble would be pleased to see you. It says in "Pilot" they're revalidating their FISO ratings on 6-7 and 13-14 January and looking for people to practise on. Could call it the "PPrune guinea-pig bash"

Oh, and there's no landing fees.

If you make it on the 14th I'll even drive over from Bath to meet up - you can buy me the lunch you owe me after Swansea

Cool

I'll be there. By road I regret as the collection of aircraft parts in the garage can not yet fly. Also departing from Bath so I'll race ya chillimonster.

Nice place, good bacon sandwich to be had. Fairly complex movements rules, well worth getting a good telephone brief before departing (everything from private FJ to a microlight school there).

Are there PPL(A) aircraft rentals available at Kemble, thought it was just microlights?

Girl Flyday,

Yep, you're welcome to come and navigate for me. Then I get to look at the view without getting lost

I'll be there: pretty long way however: depends really on the weather: Day job dictates no chance of getting socked in on Sunday night.

Cya there

Looks like Whirlybird has a navigator then... and I have myself a ride in an R22!!! (Beats my usual spamcans hands down!)

See you all there, then!!!

BTW... Happy Christmas!!!

This means with any luck we will not fly from Shobdon to Kemble via Birmingham
