Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 All, RAF Lyneham are swinging open the gates exclusively for Paramotor Club members to get some top notch navigation briefings. The event will take place on the morning of the 3rd of April. (a weekday I know but has to be I am afraid.) It would be great to get as many of the Tip to Tip people both ground and air crews there as possible as we intend to drag the media along too. Of course this is open to ALL Paramotor Club members, this is not a tip to tip event.. I am just using it to hijack a bit more media for it Please reply here with a yes if you are coming. Also I will need a PM with your car details, make, model, colour, VRN. and you will all need to bring a photo ID (Driving license or passport.) I hope that this is the first of may but there may only be one so don't wait for it. Get on it now SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slim Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 eeek! That means subtract 30 minutes from the original plan. See you at 07:15 boys - you know who you are. Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 To all who are visiting RAF Lyneham tomorrow... A tip for the season is a nice cool white Tip to Tip T shirt if you have one, or a Paramotor Club one if not. ( I will bring some of both with me) Also, could people please bring Cameras ( I am sure that there will be times that you can not use them ) but we need to get some decent shots to send out to the Media... Whoever takes the best picture will see it in the local News Paper. If you have neither of the above, not to worry just dress as per 'pictures being taken for the media' Cheers all....

Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 All, Today at 0800 12 Paramotor Club Members will be the first to attend an RAF Navigation / Awareness Brief. This is a brand new idea for the Paramotor Club and it's members to work with local RAF Bases. If this works well then I intend to arrange similar ones at your local RAF base. (Please fill in the location section of your prifile) and each year pilots will be kept up to date with local Airspace and RAF Activity. This can onloy be a good thing for all concerned and I hope that we see as much interest througout the UK as this very first one has.

bathboy Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Thanks to our RAF hosts for tea biscuits and loads of knowledge, Simon for arranging it and others in the "Tip to Tip" team for their good company. After a few days mulling over what we heard: I've a much better/safer idea where and when they fly I'll try to avoid flying on a constant bearing I'll try to make a conscious effort to move my head and lookout more The courtesy number to call if near Bath/Bradford-on-Avon close to their southern approach path was a bonus. Filton appreciate this type of call when near their north of Bristol area. Thanks again Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
