Who wants to fly from Enstone airfield, Oxfordshire?

Email address at the bottom of my post.

I would also like to get things done asap and would like to have a look at Enstone so if you could arrange a meeting I will turn up.

Unfortunately I am busy Saturday morning but free the rest of the weekend.

Will probably go to Lambourn Sunday if the weather is okay.

Cheers

Eddie

Doh! didn't spot it there Eddie :oops:

I'm in Essex from Fri night and all day Saturday and possibly Sunday. If I am around Sunday though I could give you a shout to see if you are around otherwise would a weekday evening suit you?

Cheers

Hi Mark

As I live in Watlington would be very interested in Flying from Enstone.

Please add me to the update list.

I hold an RT licence from about 15 years ago when I was doing some GA flying , do these go out of date ?

Otherwise need to get course booked pronto

Hi Eddie

I couldn't answer your question with any authority but would think that the licence is for life.

Whether you feel you would want a refresher then only you could be the judge of that I think. You could always speak to Paul at Enstone airfield and find out if there is any such thing as a refresher course. If you have forgotten everything though then it might be worth retaking it.

I would be more than happy to add you to the list but there isn't any point in spending your money unessessarily.

I'll add you to the updates list though:)

Cheers

Mark

Guys,

I spoke to Paul this morning, and have planned 'again' to visit on the next rainy day. He mentioned that they are just trying to get a date from the examiner and the RT Course dates will be announced.

Although not required, it can only be a handy thing to have (more so for me as I am going to go for my NPPL very soon)

I will try to arrange more RT (airband Radio) courses as I am sure the guys at Enstone will be more than happy to run as many as we cn fill the places for.

Been a bit quiet, but Paul and I are in touch and things are moving still. :D

SW :D

i used to live next to enstone airfield. when i go and see my nan there is always planes and microlights going over head. its a nice area. one i have got my training started with simon this is an area i plan to use. there is also a runway at enstone thats unused as you enter the airfield on the left. full of pot holes though.

what im saying is, there is a unused run way that every now and again people take radio controlled cars on and learn to drive on. its full of holes and no good for a plane. but would be ideal for landing and taking off with a paramotor. its a public place and no one can say if you can or cant use it. as long as you dont fly into enstone flying clubs air space im sure its fine. :?

Just to clarify, this would need confirming as I have no idea where said lump of land is :-)

What I meant to put across was that you do not need an airfield to take off from nor do you need a RT licence to fly a Paramotor. :-)

We will cover this in greater details during your training of course.

See you soon. :-)
