Deanland Fly-In on the 8th June
Ridders and I are organising a Flyer Forumites fly-in on the 8th of June at Deanland EGKL. Deanland is a 450m undulating grass strip at the foot of the south downs, not far east of Shoreham. It would be great if a gaggle of forumites could attend.
Deanland does not usually actively encourage visitors, but for this one day of the year we are open to everyone... albeit with a limited number of slots available.
Landing is £10 which includes free BBQ food and a drink. It’s a proper oil drum barbeque featuring top quality locally produced butcher’s sausages and burgers.
The 8th June is just 2 days after the anniversary of the D-Day landings in 1944, and Deanland was an Advanced Landing Ground, so this is also a tongue in cheek 69th birthday celebration to mark the occasion. Please feel free to show us your best 'advanced landing techniques', we will have the locally based pilots observing during the day and there might just be a prize for the nicest one.
PPR required in advance, even if it’s the same morning, and you will be forwarded the sheet of arrival and departure information which on this day only, will be slightly different than the usual deanland joining instructions.
There is no fuel at Deanland, so please plan your flight accordingly.
Information is on the website at Deanland Airfield - Home
