Therein lies the problem with the tiny 'summer' window we have here in Blighty...clash clash clash ! :ugh:

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.

Nappsfield, Stock, Essex
 

Felt creative so...

Cheers.

Do you know I've live in and around the area for almost my whole life and I never knew that was there.

BUMP.......:ok:

Does anyone know the Gazelle guy that came to the North Weald fly-in...is he aware of the Stock meet ?

he should do, he is a regular contibutor, under MD600

Steve - i'll give him a buzz...

Super dooper...the more the merrier eh folks !:ok:

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:}

Last Bump from me..
 

Went and bought the burgers + sausages today from Costco... and some fizzy pop..cos we are flying :ok:

For those coming, see you on Saturday.

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 :eek:

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:ok:

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:D

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:ok:

Wish I could have made it but the WX was just not what I class as "Fun", Looking forward to the next date to come out and see what the Diary says!

HB999

....just look at the Wx in the locale today...proof that there isn't a god....or that he just doesn't like helicopters....??

...and what a difference a week makes...:ugh:

Bloody typical...never mind...next time.

just seen the thread send me a pm next time i would be up for it always up for a jolly
