The PPRuNe Spring Fly-In

Ok, as suggested by Saab, how about a nice relaxed Spring fly-in?

No formalities, and no SkyGod bull****. Just a group of flyers, some burgers, and some banter.

So, how about Saturday April 19th, at Leicester, any time from 1100 local onwards?

Please register interest here, and I'll update this first post accordingly.

Please state name, aircraft reg and any passengers, as this will help with forewarning the catering dept.

Whilst I accept the weather will probably be shoite, at least we will have tried. If the weather bombs out, we can keep trying until it's scorchio.

Yep count me in for that, will pass details later as it depends which of our heaps is actually serviceable nearer the time.

Edit: In fact I'll take a punt, put me down as me and another in G-BSLT.

I've promised Mrs.G we'll take a week's holiday that week, but if it slides due weather, count me in for the postponed fly-in.

Hi mate!! Hope all's well. Will look forward to catching up.

Don't know about camping; you might need to call them.

I spoke with the airfield manager who has asked me request that people might need to be prepared to be patient on that day with food orders, as they have one of the catering staff on holiday on the 19th. I have said that is understood and that I'd mention it here.

Also, any special requests (camping etc) can be answered by calling the airfield direct beforehand.

Please remember to get your own PPR on the day. For insurance purposes, this is not an official fly-in and I am not an 'organiser'. There is no obligation to attend, and the 'go' or 'not go' decision rests solely with the PIC.
