Fly-in & BBQ: Nappsfield, Stock, Essex, Saturday 19th June 2010
 

Folks, building on the success of last weekend's fly-in (EGSX on 24/04), I have had a chat with a friend of mine with a strip in Stock in Essex (West of Hanningfield Reservoir).

The owner (Bob) loves choppers and we have been in a few times now with FEDA and the fixed wing fleet. He is keen for us to use the field.

The intention is arrival at lunchtime and we will lay on a BBQ (burgers, sausages, etc.,....carrots for veggies).

Leave when you like or stay over if you wish (bring tent).

For those interested, I have posted a rotorheads page on the flying monkey website for 24/04, which is 'aero-simian centric' and covers the day out from The Flying Monkey cohort. :ok:

Errr, where is 'Stock'? You mean Stoke-on-Trent?

Stock Village in Essex with those pubs - (So google reveals !)

Fantastic idea, bit far for us to come otherwise we'd be there
:ok:

I'm in :ok:

I live not a fantastic distance away from Stock, it's a lovely little place.

I'm only soon to be a mere student if all goes well, am I eligible to come?

Count me in boys!

PoloJamie, ofcourse.....if learning by then fly in with instructor :ok:

It's not about distance...it's for the hell of it!...A 'purpose' gives us a mission...else I wouldn't be going to Redhill (albeit by fixed wing) to pick up FEDA then fly back to Essex..when I live in Thurrock:}

Sounds like fun! I'll need to confirm closer the time, as attendance will depend on funds available and location, but I'm keen.

For anyone struggling to find Stock, it's just West of Hanningfield Resevoir.

Same day as this Air-Britain Fly-In

Maybe we could do both.....

Kev

So it's your fault........someone mentions "BBQ" and the rain starts!

You will of course would all be most welcome at the Air-Britain Fly-In, Bar-B Q going all day, bar open, good social relaxed atmosphere and hopefully plenty of Classic aircraft for you to look at and a few vendors at which you can .

I'm in. That is a village next to Chelmsford where I live. Will prebook my SFH aircraft well in advance this time.

S1lverback,
I'm glad you've taken the "baton" and decided to organise another fly-in!!

Count me and the "300" in!! Perhaps we could actually meet this time!!

Great pictures on your website of the North Weald fly-in, why don't you post the link on here??

Tonge

Link attached now in starting text.

I'll Come!!
 

Bring my Bell 47!!! Silverback said the beers are on him!! Way to go!!!

Daz, you can have all the beer you can drink if you turn up with the 47!

I'll even pour it in a glass for you :ok:
