Curry
 
Has anyone got any recommendations for good airfields to fly too that have sensible proximity to exemplary curry eating establishments?

I'm thinking, the strip >450 meters grass or hard, the curry dirty stinking filthy hot vindaloo. Must have garlic naan bread too.

Thanks.

Err, Heathrow? Not too far to Southall?

There's a couple of places in India I could reccommend...

Excellent. Just need to find the nearest airstrips.... If it's LHR then it's possibly going to be the most expensive cuzza ever.

Leeds Bradford. 2250 metres of concrete. Finest curries in the land in Bradford, but bring your wallet for the landing and handling and parking fees....

TheGorrilla 7th February 2010 00:38

Thanks. I'll need some money after paying my landing fee to cover the mountain of currrrwie required. Maybe a long runway will be required for departure performance reasons...

Rochester, and you're five minutes away from the Shozna - Indian & Bangladeshi Cuisine. Indian Restaurant & Takeaway Service. , or the Spice Fusion - Contemporary Indian Cuisine in Chatham for a classier ring of fire.

Loads around Southend area, just get a taxi from the terminal. Airport open H24 so no problem departing late.

If you want decent curry rather than the 1980s lager lout's staple

dirty stinking filthy hot vindaloo
then Bradford is indeed the place to go (I don't know if you can actually get the lager lout stuff there?). And if you go to the best curry house in Bradford, the Kash, you won't need much money either, so you can spend it on all landing fees and handling.

Oh dear, I hope that you are flying home alone, in an open cockpit.:ooh:

CATO or JATO sir?

TheGorrilla 7th February 2010 11:57

Possibly VATO (Vindaloo Assisted). :\

Nottingham has a curry house on the airfield

Curry
 
Nottingham Airport (Tollerton) (EGBN) has an Indian restaurant about 2 minutes walk from the tower called Miahs. Haven't eaten there yet so can't comment on their vindaloo!

kevmusic 7th February 2010 16:27

TG, don't forget you'll be using a grarse runway.


(Okay, pathetic; I know. Now where did I put my coat........)

Plenty up here in Yorkshire. Fly to Leeds Bradford and try Aakash in Cleckheaton, largest Indian in the world and very local to me ;)

www.aakashrestaurant.co.uk/


Sherburn in Elmet also has a nice Indian restaurant less than 1.2 mile away from airfield.

Sherburn in Elmet also has a nice Indian restaurant less than 1/2 mile away from airfield.
Shouldn't that be "less than a mile?" It's a long way to the airfield from the main road and the Curry House isn't at the end of New Lennerton Lane. :\

Them thar hills 7th February 2010 19:12

Good Indian !
 
I agree about the Aakash in Cleckheaton - excellent, both the place and the food.
But Crosland Moor would be a much cheaper option than LBA for the destination. Huddersfield has many good Indian restaurants, the Laxmi at Berry Brow being the nearest to Crosland Moor. (but to be fair, none of 'em are within walking distance !)
:ok:

DX Wombat 7th February 2010 20:10

Gorrilla, if you do decide to head up this way let me know, I may be able to provide transport for you.

This has to be one of the strangest reasons for a trip, ever.

TheGorrilla 7th February 2010 22:46


This has to be one of the strangest reasons for a trip, ever.
Nope. Folk go on fly outs for cups of tea and pieces of cake, so why not go for a curry?



Thank you DX Wombat, will let you know :ok:
