Flying into Helitech 2009
Hi folks,
I'm contemplating flying myself into Helitech this year. Looking at the Duxford special events AIC for 2009 it doesn't include, it, and the Helitech website only refers me to the IWM website - which in turn refers me to the AIC!
Can anybody point me at this year's procedures and contact details for PPR, slot booking, et.al. for Helitech.
FWIW, I'm proposing to fly in fixed-wing, but my recollection from previous years is that all information was in the same place?

To book your slot, just call Alan in the tower on 01223 833376. Once you've got your slot, you'll be sent joining procedures nearer the time.

Great idea! I'm up for it, although my experience in trying to arrange prooner meetings has had limited success to date...

In past years there has been an AIC for Helitech. I am at Duxford on Wednesday and will have a look at where it is at and when it will be published. It may be that we will have a pdf or Word document that we can email in the meantime.

I'm planning to go by road but due to the vagaries of the job, I won't know exactly when until very close to the day, if at all.

Dear Helicraig,
I am in the Midlands, very close to Warwick ! I'm guessing you fly from Cov ? as I do not recognise your name from Wellesbourne.
I try to go to Helitech as many days as poss but maybe we could meet regardless ?

Just bumping the thread, and mentioning that I'm planning to go on Wednesday 23rd if anybody's likely to be around for lunch.
I spoke to Duxford about PPR - they're still getting the procedures together but took my number and promised to call me back once they have procedures to slot me into.

I am just awaiting confirmation but it looks like we will be running some of the first safety evening presentation (the same bits each day) on all 3 days of helitech.
It will be open to all, but on a first come first served basis as space may be limited.
I'll let you know how it pans out.
