Hi

What a nice gesture, I'd love to come but I'll be in Barcelona until the following day.

Thanks anyway.

If you's like me to put in an appearance on your behalf, I'd be glad to take EWAW for you

Sound like fun. I'll be there.

JJ. Why not come with us in the 480. We could go via the London Heli lanes.

Anyone want to go via Damyns Hall and pick up a passenger??

The ship I've been using is in for maintenance, so can't fly myself.

We'll make it a date for the 2nd.


All

There are going to be a few Rotorways there as the organiser is the owner of Exec 90 G-VART. Assuming we've got a bit of time there and can borrow an Exec I may be able to give a few famil flights.

Cool BBQ/Fly-in 2nd August, South East UK

Hi,

Sounds like a great idea, a mate and I would love to come down with the wives for a flying visit in a 206 and a 120.

Thanks see you all there.

Sorry

Didn't see your reply until gone 7pm that night and had already had a beer myself by then so couldn't play out.

I'd love to get down to Kent, but I doubt i'll be up that way until later in the evening.

Damyns Hall

Tonge, can you get down to Southend airport or is there somewhere to land where you are? I have given up the R22 I reserved but if you are up for it, the wx plays nice, and a ship is still available then it could all come together.
