Fly In?
 

I am a bit confused. The fly in is in Kemble or Leicester? What date and what time?
By the way, have you checked if the airfields are open and sell fuel? Some are shut/ reduced service.

Thanks.

AC-DC We're still chatting by e-mail to find a date that suits most people before we flag it up as a thread. Sit tight and watch this space... :)

I think Kemble would be pleased to see you. It says in "Pilot" they're revalidating their FISO ratings on 6-7 and 13-14 January and looking for people to practise on. Could call it the "PPrune guinea-pig bash"

Oh, and there's no landing fees.

Good idea! OK, who else wants to go to Kemble on Sunday 14th Jan?

I'll wbe there - See if I can bring some of the other chaps as well

If you make it on the 14th I'll even drive over from Bath to meet up - you can buy me the lunch you owe me after Swansea ;)

Whirly... fancy a navigator for the trip??? ;)

I'll be there. By road I regret as the collection of aircraft parts in the garage can not yet fly. Also departing from Bath so I'll race ya chillimonster.

O.K. The 14th. What time? How is the food over there? Never been to Kemble.

Nice place, good bacon sandwich to be had. Fairly complex movements rules, well worth getting a good telephone brief before departing (everything from private FJ to a microlight school there).

Are there PPL(A) aircraft rentals available at Kemble, thought it was just microlights?

Girl Flyday,

Yep, you're welcome to come and navigate for me. Then I get to look at the view without getting lost :)

Might make it-acc to wx

I'll be there: pretty long way however: depends really on the weather: Day job dictates no chance of getting socked in on Sunday night.

Cya there

I'll try and get to Kemble on the 14th.

They have a website at <A HREF="http://www.kemble.net/airfield.htm" TARGET="_blank">http://www.kemble.net/airfield.htm</A>

Prob can't do 14th, but still on for alternative of 17th

I'm on for the 14th. Spare seats from Yorkshire if anyone needs one....

I'm on for the 14th, Wx permitting.

Pessimism : Don't try it, it'll never work

Looks like Whirlybird has a navigator then... and I have myself a ride in an R22!!! :) (Beats my usual spamcans hands down!)

See you all there, then!!! :)

BTW... Happy Christmas!!!

This means with any luck we will not fly from Shobdon to Kemble via Birmingham :) :) :)

Once overheard a pilot asking a LARS unit for a routing to Birmingham. Couldn't resist pressing the transmit button and suggesting he go via Crewe. Better not suggest this to Whirly....

Anyone else remember that stupid song, or am I the oldest on frequency?

I'll probably still be Cubless on the 14th unless the PFA are really rapid at turning the paperwork around.

Cahliban, any chance of a lift?

Hi LownSlow, not a problem We'll probably be in an Archer from Elstree or the DR400 from the farm (depending on how wet it is). Give me a call....

Hope to come in my DR400, from Rochester. Seats available.

Sorry cannot make the 14th - I am away for a long weekend, somewhere hopefully a little warmer.

Have fun and will try to make the next one..

Checked the diary today and I am okay for the 14th, ex Gamston if anyone wants a lift.

Kemble... isn't that the place with the infamous ostrich farm?
We aren't allowed to overfly the farm, it seems that when the place was very active some of these birds being paddocked on old concrete standings had the habit of doing "ostrich type things" when frightened and knocking themselves out! :)

I would be tempted but as an RSPCA supporter it doesn't quite fit my profile

Thanks Cahliban, I'l drop you a line closer to the day.

I'll be there on 14 Jan Wx permitting. Got two spare seats if anyone fancies the short hop over from Oxfordshire (and back!).

Having nothing better to do, I just decided to count who's coming:

rightstuffer
Whirlybird/Girl Flyday
loglickychops
Chilli Monster
AirScream
AC-DC
Bat outahell
Cusco
Cahlibahn/LowNSlow
Welshbwoy
skua
Beagler
1.3VStall

15 people! Not at all bad. Anyone else?

I'll be going for a Bourn Butty......

WF.

Is thIs the fly-in open to all?

Is the fly-in open to all ?

Tiny; the more the merrier...

Wx permitting, count me in.

If on the 14th I shall try to come in Pup 150 G-IPUP.

Sorry folk, I'll be introducing myself to Warped Factor at Bourn.

Is there something special going on at Bourn that day? Their website was last updated in 1918 so no info there. Haven't been to Bourn since spending a pleasant day circuiting there during training, so might drop in on the way to or from Kemble.

The Flyer List are having a Bourn Butty (renowned bacon sarnie plus a new feature - Onion Bhajis) fly-in on the 14th. Last time I looked at
http://www.thehangar.co.uk/bourn/bourn.shtm
there were about a dozen or so aircraft planning on going. Might pop in on way to/from Kemble if time permits.

Sounds like a good way to kill two birds with one small rock like object.

Count me in too, Wx Permitting.
