Farnborough LARS visit. Sunday 4th May.

Hi all. I have arranged a visit to Farnborough LARS, Sunday 4th May. We can see the new tower and the LARS operation and we can take 8, two groups of four so we can possibly have a chance to sit down and listen-in to the radar. This looks like a cracker so your names below please........

Evo - you know you have a court injunction against you for this!!!

But - no - she won't be there, the visit has been cunningly arranged to keep her away from the likes of you ........ but don't let that put you off!! There will be at least one other babe in da house!!

Yes please BRL it could prove useful as they are a busy place and I try to avoid routes that they would cover at the moment.

If you are not one of those who can make this visit please get the flying club you are with or the group you fly with to organise a visit direct with us at EGLF. You are most welcome as we would like to meet you so we can help you and after you see our side of the task you may be able to help us as well! Most of the local pilots are very helpful already but will hopefully get a better understanding of why we are always asking for this that and the other when the sky and the frequency seems fairly quiet and what the world looks like to us on a busy LARS day.

Hope to see you soon.

4/5 probably not a good day for me, which is a pity.

Umtali, if I could gather a small band of Club flyers from EGTB, could you accommodate us sometime?

This looks even better. There could be a chance that they allow 2 aircraft to fly in on the day if you would like to do that but this is being talked about right now and we will find out shortly if this will be possible. Also, along the same lines, there is an atc simulator over there that we could have a go of, again talks are underway to see if this is possible.

All names on here will be put in a hat and selected as you all know by now. No reseve list just wait and see. Things like this will not be accepted.....
I d like to be on the list if possible.
No bribery intended but i d hate to post some of the things you said on Wed evening!!!!!!!!!

If it proves that popular, we can arrange more visits. The further we get into summer, the busier it will get and you can come and really be scared!

P.S. AlanM - I wish you wouldn't talk about me like that.

Ooh, yes please!

AlanM - sorry, haven't replied to your e-mail because I was waiting to hear back from BRL first, but I guess you two have already been in touch with each other!
