Fly-in 24th April at North Weald, UK

** SPOKE WITH THE SQUADRON AND CHANGED THE DATE TO THE SATURDAY **

Hello everyone,

I've had this idea for a while of trying to arrange a "Helicopter" Fly-in, I'm not sure if its because there is less of us, but apart from the safety evenings we never seem to get together in groups. The "Plank Boys" appear to organise these do's on a regular basis, and they look to be quite popular (the do's that is not the "planks" ).

So here goes, how about North Weald (EGSX), on Saturday 24th April from about midday. If you're flying around, or wanting a reason to go for a fly, why not pop in and join me for a tea.

It's a big enough place if quite a few turn up, there is usually something interesting stuff to look at and the "Squadron" does some nice grub!!

Hope to see you there, obviously depending on the lovely UK weather

Following the post from Rallye Driver, I went to North Weald today and spoke to the "Squadron", they are more than happy to except us for a fly-in. therefore I've changed the date to SATURDAY 24TH APRIL, from midday onwards.

The food looked good and they have got fuel (Avgas and JetA1).

Let me know if you are coming along,

Tonge

I'm up for that so it's in the diary. The R44 knows its way there on its own by now.

I'm glad people are keen on the idea!

Lord Mount, I emailed the school's at Redhill, if someone from there is planning to fly in perhaps you could catch a lift?
