Prune fly in Cranfield 26th April

Part the second...

OK I'll start another list...sourcing an a/c for next Sunday is proving a bit difficult at the moment, we're moving our club to a new location next Saturday so it depends how that goes. At worst I can fly in from somewhere else and be there for 1300. If you could let me know the usual, POB, type, reg, where you are coming from and ETA.

Anybody going from East Anglia (Colchester Region)? If so, would you happen to have a spare seat or anything? Would love to experience one of these PPRuNe fly-ins.

Thank you

Toby

Colchester diversion

Tobster - if you wouldn't mind picking up landing fees at Earls Colne there and back, I'm sure I could drop in and collect. PM me if you want to experience the mighty Air Plains Cessna......

Thing - will confirm where coming from later - see above. Will aim for 11.00Z. New recruit is G-BIKE PA- 28R from Rochester. Is about to join Pprune and make appearance here - have suggested "cyclist" as pseudonym.

I can't make it I'm afraid. The aeroplane is poorly*, if I've fixed it by then somebody else has it booked, and because Im a masochistic idjit, I'm doing a 10km Regiment Fitness race that day.

*Due to my own stupidity. Leave the fuel cap by the pumps by accident, and people taxi over it. Can't really blame them for that.

Similar to Tobster, if anyone is going from/flying over Essex and would like some company, I would be more than happy to contribute towards landing fees/costs/lunch!

PPL based in Southend but very little experience in airfields other than Southend, Lydd and Cambridge. Would love the experience of new airfields, aircraft and pilots and I am more than happy to drive a way to somewhere convenient!

Further Essex passenger?

Still a further seat available, but would make sense if you could get to Earls Colne to board at same time as Tobster. Plus is that you share landing fees (and maybe lunch?). Minus is that you take turns riding shotgun. PM me if you wish to join us.

Can you all check the list above for accuracy? Weather looking much like it did last Sun at the moment. No matter what let's keep it as a goer and individual pilots make their own call on the weather. I'll phone the list through to Cranfield tomorrow. Don't forget to call Cranfield before departure or to let them know if you're not coming. I suggest that we meet in the Pacific caff. Hopefully see everyone on Sunday, don't eat all the pies before we get there!

Hopefully the weather will be kind. Can't guarantee I will leave any pies though...

Dare I say it, the weather is looking not too bad for the morrow. Don't forget to give Cranfield a bell before you set off or have decided to drop out, ta.

I have an aeroplane tomorrow but only late. If I can arrange things with my passengers (first timers on a birthday flight), will any of you still be at Cranfield at 1530?

Late arrival

If the front takes it's time to clear far SE, we may be late arrival, but would hope to be getting away around that time at about the latest. Weather should be good by then for sure!
