Sounds great, I'd love to (and I wouldn't harass any of the female ATCOs!).

(* FFF thinks about pointing out that the chances of Penguina making it on time are slim, but decides that the ear-bashing he'd get if he did so isn't worth it *)

There could be a chance that they allow 2 aircraft to fly in on the day...
Cool All I need do is make my circuits a bit untidy and I'm there

Yes please! [Puts on special pleading voice] I don't get special preference because I was unable to go on the Heathrow visit do I?

(Well if you don't ask...)

BRL

I can believe that anyone would attempt to bribe a guy who was so generous with his pork pies.

Woof.

Careful Skip.... Your master told me he'd lock you in the shed if he caught you using his computer again.

Hello Nice Lady,

I hope your hand is nice and clean now - sorry about that...

Do you really think a Master who takes me to posh hotel to meet new friends, lets me sleep on his bed and buys me lots of treats would really consider locking me in the shed?

Not a chance!

I live just round the corner from the thing and have watched them put all the new buildings up, I would love a chance to have a look inside.


Please Please I have years of experience in grovelling

Hi Barney. Everything is fine so far. Only thing is we can't now fly-in as was suggested. Our sponser can pick up 4 from Blackbush(if you want to fly there instead) if required as he lives only 5 mins away. Look out for an announcement early April regarding who is going.

In order to keep up with this visit, you will now need to read two threads. And, purely in the interests of sport, the two threads have been cunningly put into two different forums, just to keep you all on your toes!

Ok, for anyone who doesn't read the whole of PPRuNe (what? You mean there are people out there who don't???) I'll give you the link: try this thread in the Bashes forum.

Some of you I know have already read this thread, and know that it's me who's doing the draw. I know you know because you were all trying to be very nice to me at the Duxford fly-in

I will probably do the draw later this week, so if your name isn't on this thread yet, then this is your last chance to post. I know this visit is going very popular - for many of us it's far more relevant than visits to large commercial airports. There's no way I can keep everyone happy, other than to do my best to organise further trips for those who aren't the lucky ones this time. But if you haven't posted on this thread, then you definitely won't be picked.

Sorry BRL - got to pull out for this one - I'm going to be out of the country that day now. Good luck to all of you left in the draw!

Cheers,

MD.

I may have lost the plot, but is there a list yet of those who are lucky enough to be attending ? Perhaps edit the 1st post (a la GatBash style) ?

Nr,

No, you haven't lost the plot - although I did the draw last Friday as promised, I didn't get a chance to post the results.

I like the idea of updating the first post, but since I didn't make that post, I can't edit it. So here's the list:
  • AerBabe
  • Big Red L
  • FlyingForFun
  • Nr Fairy
  • Penguina
  • Pilotwolf
  • Rustle
  • Saab Dastard


There will also be a couple of reserves:

1st Reserve: HelenD
2nd Reserve: Evo

You guys will get to go if anyone else drops out.

Can all of those named (including the reserves) please e-mail me the following details (I prefer e-mail to PM - please click on View Profile then click on Click Here To Email FlyingForFun):
  • Full name
  • PPRuNe name
  • Passport number
  • Nationality
If you're not able to go, please let me know asap.

For those who weren't picked this time, all I can say is sorry, I'd have taken you all if it was possible. But I'm sure we can arrange another visit.

FFF
