Oh well, that's the way it is...
We will also have some fixed wing traffic on the day, so I will setup something on the ground using the Safety Comm frequency 135.47
'Stock'...Call Sign...Position...'Stock'
I might become creative and make up a plate with windsock, etc
It would be useful if you mailed me on [email protected] to let me know aircraft type and intended arrival time, just so we know whom to expect.

Bump again...
Just a few days left to go and looking a little light on the ground in terms of choppers attending.
So far choppers confirmed are: Myself (+family/Monkeys) in EC120 and Hoopmeister+Parasite Drag in Rotorway. Lord Mount & PoloJamie by road.
I intend to be there by 12.00 noon, so we have a radio on the ground, but otherwise keep a good look out.
Parking is in the recess by the house (top centre of picture) or South of Runway (opposite)...but expect we can 'all' park on North side

Bit wet and windy?
Hi Folks, well another day draws to a close and another fly-in with it.
At one point (when the wx cancelled the Rotorway's trip), I thought that G-FEDA was going to be the only the chopper at our little fly-in
Then out of the blue or rather on the radio we heard G-EZZL, a Gazelle with Bill and Bob on board and our numbers were doubled
Throughout the day it rained sporadically and it was gusty, but Chris (who kindly manned the BBQ) soldiered on ensuring we all had our burgers and sausages
There were around 20 folk in the end with some pilots attending by car or bike...so at least we could occupy the kitchen (while it rained) and talk choppers.
Let's hope the weather is better next time (end of summer perhaps?) and we have a few more choppers..I will open a poll on dates for the next one, so we can account for all the other fly-ins that go-on.
Nappsfield might also be good for a winter fly-in...
Anyhow, thanks again to those who attended by whatever means
