    Super sorry Eddie, 

    No one allowed on site (except the set up crew 'who know who they are') until Friday Morning :-( 

    We had a fairly nasty accident on the field last year on the Thursday which involved an air ambulance. My meeting with the council was not easy when this was brought up. 

    I can't risk anything this year if we want the event to keep happening in the future :-):-)

    There are though, loads of local areas where you can Gorilla camp, or campsites if thats your thing.... 

    My hands are kind of tied with this one as I know people will be watching! 

    SEE YOU THERE THOUGH!!!!!! :-)

    SW :D

    Off to a council meeting on Monday in Arlingham.... ref this event. (Nothing to flap about) :-) 

    But do expect a couple of extra no fly zones. 

    Last year we had more complaints about low flying than any other event (even put together maybe)! 

    OK so we also had complaints about the fireworks and that's my bad of course from which I am happy to take the hit. :-) 

    We are at the point where if we want this event to continue to be (let's be honest) our favourite in the PMC calendar we will all need to start being a tiny little bit more considerate of the local residence and animals. There are loads of places where you can legally let your horns come out without stressing the locals and they will be marked also (so not all bad!) :-) 

    Can't wait!!! seems like ages since the last one!! 

    SW :D

    Hi all, 

    Is there someone who will be attending this event who will be taking a PC with excel installed that I would be able to use for about 30 mins?? 

    There is just the possibility that I may need to check some script for the fireworks (in the field) if for some bonkers reason it goes pear shaped between now and then....???

    Pretty please :-) :) 

    SW :D

    Guess who is booked on to an ADR Hazardous Materials Cat1 explosives, drivers licence renewal :-) 

    Guess who is also booked in on a couple of other courses like, um..... Cat4 (largest possible fireworks allowed in the UK come under this category) handlers and firers course....

    Cat 4 event insurance also a phone call away after interrogation / interview and completion of the above courses. :-):-) 

    I think you can see where this is headed! 

    This is something I have craved doing for a number of years. I think it is clear to most that I just love fireworks!!! This should all be done and dusted before the end of this year :-) which is the reason I thought I would mention it here ;-)

    Is now off to find some 6" mortar tubing :-) anyone fancy helping me build an awesome 'Mortar rack' ??? ( I am s*it at woodwork ) 

    SW :D

    Massive thanks to everyone how made it to the Fly-in :-):-) 

    Again, an awesome vibe. A top bunch of pilots having a brilliant weekend. !! :-) 

    Most of the flying was done this morning with a few lucky flights before that in strong wind. 

    I think everyone who attended will agree, it was a super relaxing and enjoyable weekend! 

    See you at the Bore Chasers! 

    SW :D
