Anyone going to Project Propeller 2003?
Hi all,
Anyone else going to Project Propeller this year? If so, hope to see you there!
I hope to make it to York/Elvington in Warrior G-BEFA, with just one pax, an 80yr old ex- Wireless Op from Bombers based in Yorkshire during the war.

I've got an Arrow (G-MEAH) booked from Stapleford. We've got three aircraft going this year.
My two passengers are a Lancaster rear gunner and radio operator.
Definitely fingers crossed for a nice day.

Regrettably, I have just had to cancel attending this year, after two years participating in this most excellent event. HWD, I don't think that it's too late to join in: drop[ the organiser a line. Have fun all who are going.

Great! Look forward to seeing you guys up there... likewise, I'm praying hard to the weather Gods for this one..!
Anyone else thinking of staying overnight? My pax is up for it... I am looking into B&B's... I figure it'll take the pressure off having to get back same day, and hopefully allow time for a few beers!
FNG: you will be missed man... I am just back from fun trip in US (from Connecticut over Adirondack mtns, up to St LAwrence Seaway / Canadian border) - let me know if time for a beer in the City one evening or lunch, so I can regale you!

Unfortunately I won't be flying in but I will be there providing fire cover
If you see a big fire tender coming towards you (and it is BIG!) don't worry, its just another friendly ppruner coming across for a chat!
See you there

If anyone else wants to stay overnight (either Friday or Saturday), could you please let me know as soon as possible. I need to arrange food, drink and transport.

Im going In PA34 Seneca G-CAHA. Ive got 3 passengers along and this is my 3rd project propeller (missed it last year due to wife having a baby...).
Perhaps this would prove usefulfor some as I have had problems getting a current plate...

Although beware the plate may be very out of date..possibly the rwy is now designated as 25 not 26?

Baldy - its easy to post an image - you just need to put it on a website somewhere and then link to it using the [IMG] tags provided (press the IMG button in the editor) to enter the URL of where the image is.
If you (or others) don't have somewhere to on the web to put your images, then send to me (email [email protected]) and I will put on for you.

I'm almost certainly going, from Rochester, with (ATM) spare seats.
I was going to have to scrub on the grounds of expense, but when my pax and I spoke he understood perfectly well that volunteering my wallet for a 3.5hr flight was a bit silly when I'm not earning at the moment, and is going to organise a whip round.
He's going to ask his 85 year old Lanc bomb aimer mate if he wants to come, so we've still got at least one spare seat.
I'll be in a very, very, blue Gardan Horizon G-GYAT

ps. If any pilot wants to come along, I'm happy to let you fly and log one leg.
pps: I'm the one alarmingly close to the rather attractive female American visitor to a 388th bomber group reunion last month. On this occasion I gave rides to two vets, a waist gunner and a radio op.

Forecast looks lousy
Current Bracknell forecast chart for 12UTC Saturday shows an occluded frontal system running the entire length of Britian from north to south... HERE'S HOPING THE FORECAST IS WRONG!!!

Hang on... Bracknell forecast charts on PHD appear to be a bit scr*wed up: both th 72hr and 96hr f'cast charts indicate they are valid for 12 UTC on Saturday... having checked against the USAF equivalent charts, looks like Saturday is maybe OK, while Sunday looks sh1te! So I think I will scrap the idea of staying overnight on Saturday...
Hope to see one and all there!
