Popham 1st June details - web site?
Guys 'n' Gals,
I'm not going to get to Popham, so I have not posted this into the new 'sticky' collecting details - but have you not considered collating this onto on Keith Tallent's site at aircraftbookings.co.uk?
In fact, I just started it.....

Excellent website, Steve, thanks!
Can I suggest that everyone who's going signs up, and also that everyone who wants a ride also signs up, but puts a comment in the aircraft reg column (e.g. "need ride")?

Have you signed up?
I've just been through the list of people who have registered interest in the fly-in, either on the earlier thread on PPRuNe, or on suction's web-site. Loads of people - excellent!
Then I compared this to the list of people who have signed up on this web-site.
There are lots of people who have registered an interest, but haven't yet signed up. So, to help you out, I've signed you all up! The following people have been added onto the list - but all with a "?" before your name. If you are coming, please go onto the website, remove the "?" from your name, and fill in any missing details!
I also know of the following people who would like a lift - please reply if your name is missing!
Hope to see you all there - should be a good day!

Unfortunately i'm not going to be able to make it down to Popham by air - I just don't have the cash at the moment. A comination of a recent Night Rating and moving house has killed my bank balance dead. I'll be able to make it if anyone wants a lift and is willing to stump up some of the cash. I'll be in a Piper Archer so there's plenty of room.
Alternatively if anyone is going from the Nottingham/Birmingham area and has a spare seat going then i'd love to share. Otherwise my attendance is looking pretty doubtful.

Autofly,
LowTimer is looking for a lift from E. Midlands - maybe you could get in touch with him and see if you can share the cost of flying down in your Archer between the two of you?
I'll leave you on the list, with a "?", until you know for certain one way or the other. I've also added you to the list of people looking for a lift. Hope we can see you there, one way or the other!

FFF,
Cheers for that however it looks like I won't be able to go at all ..... i've managed to double book myself for that day which is a real pain. My apologies to everyone. Hopefully see most of you at the bash.

I notice Stolport is flying in from Plymouth, would they be interested in cost sharing for the trip as I'm also based there? Im rated on both the Warrior and 152 so we could use whatever aircraft you prefered.
If its a possibility drop me a line on [email protected]

Sounds like a good thing you guys have got going on down at popham on the 1st.
I fly out of there frequently as a member of a syndicate, the 1st of June sounds like a good crack, so if thats ok with all of you I may well pop down to see what is going on!!
Look forward to it!
Cheers Guys

I probably won't be able to make it.
We're probably doing the Dawn to Dusk on either the Thursday or Friday before that (since we're last year's winners we've been told we HAVE to enter
). If it's Thursday I'll be going home on the Friday, but probably be too tired to safely consider flying on Saturday, as the D2D usually ends up being about an 18-20 hour day with preparation and so on. If it's Friday I'll be staying relatively close, and may drive there and say hi to you all. If by any chance we put off the D2D to the following week I'll try and grab an aircraft or a lift or a car and get there somehow!
Have a good one anyhow.

paulo, would love to be able to say yes, but I can't give you a definite answer...
I'm still not checked out on the Europa. I have one session booked with the instructor for next week, but he thinks I'll probably need two. His availability is proving to be a bit of a problem, and he hasn't commited to a date for the second session yet.
If I can schedule the second session for before 1st June, and if neither session is cancelled due to weather, etc., then I'll be able to fly the Europa. However, I'm not sure how likely this is. I've offered my spare seat to the rest of the guys in the Europa group - hopefully one of them will take me up on the offer, and will be able to act as P1 if I haven't completed the check-out in time.
If I don't get any takers from the group, you're welcome to the spare seat - but that would only be subject to me getting checked out on time. If I can't do that, I'll have to try to either take a club Warrior (the Super Cub is in for maintenance that weekend, which is a pain, because that was my original back-up plan) in which case you're still welcome to fly with me, or else I'll be looking to scrounge a lift myself.

Myself and djk will be along in an R22 from Thruxton.
Seeing as Whirly has dropped out, this ( I think ) makes me the sole rotary presence.
See you all there - 11:30 to 11:45ish.

Is there a commonly agreed meeting point, or are we just supposed to wonder around asking who is a ppruner?
Might provoke some interesting replies.
Some alternative suggestions may come in handy. Hope to meet some of you there........

Well, PPRuNe badges are a start, failing that all look nerdy.
And PP will be instantly recognisable if anyone bothers to look through past GatBash threads, although I suspect her cleavage will be under wraps on this occasion.
BTW, I now have a 3 hour slot, and because of the minimum hire requirements I may have the opportunity to take a few select people for short ( 10 - 15 minutes ) hops, but there's lots of factors involved. Best to approach me on the day and see how it's hanging. And if anyone else who's going is helicopter safety savvy can they drop me a line - ta.
