London Airshow Gathering.......
Hi all. The last air show at Earls Court resulted in quite a few ppruners gathering together at the bar. This year, how about putting down here on this thread what day you will be there and any other info for meeting other ppruners.
The Breitling Sky Bar is the easiest place to meet. I will let you all work something out how you will know each other etc etc.....
Again, this year, Tudor Owen (Flying Lawyer) will be giving a talk in the 'Seminar Theatre' at 3 pm on Sunday 10th about how to deal with CAA investigations. Last year's ones were a great success so be sure not to miss this one.
The weekend of the show I will be away abroad celebrating my birthday so I will not be there. (don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing or what!!!)
Anyhow, enjoy it and have fun, leave your details here for others.

I hope to be there Sunday, but I'm not certain yet. Still, to get things started, how about if Sunday's contingent meet in the Breitling Bar at 12.00 noon?
Many of you know me, but you might not recognise me...look out for the new blonde Whirly!

As Annie the Auster is as sick as the proverbial Norwegian Blue Parrot I am planning to be there on the Saturday. Look for the tall bald drunk wreathed in ciggy smoke at the Breitling bar. I will have my Pprune badge pinned through my right nostril. Just kidding, it'll be pinned to my denim jacket

Hey L'n'S, don't worry... you can have some of my hair in exchange for another cream egg. 
See you at the bar!!!
Except I've got to stay sober so I can take my new BabeMobile to be valued in the evening.

Dublinpilot and I may be meeting on Friday night and it would be great if I could introduce him to some more London ppruners. But it will be in a pub somewhere.
(Because a) I should be studying not going to the Fly! show and b) I can't justify the price of a ticket! )
If I change my mind, I'm the blonde scruffy one, about 5 ft 6, mid-twenties and I may wear the pprune badge if I'm not too ashamed! Tell you what, I'll take the fluffy seahorse bag; it's unmistakable!

S'all right for some! Others have to earn a living...
Frustrating to be passing through Battersea Heliport on Sunday afternoon but unable to even see the bar...... let alone prop it up!

And please pop along to the Magic Aviation stand where you will find a helicopter simulator that is seriously good fun to fly!
If it's Friday or Sunday mornings, say hi to the tall balding guy in it...

Hi all,
I will be there on Saturday and have plans to spend most of my time at the bar! I'm the pretty lady in pink with the pretty lady friend (not sure what she will be in).
Anyone else there on Saturday, Sunday seems to be taking hold!
See you Saturday folk at the bar
