togsie Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hey guys,Pretty, pretty please... I may need a lift home back to Reading on Sunday afternoon. Can anyone help? Thanks, S. Slim, I've got some family stuff to sort out at the weekend but I'm hoping to get over on the Sunday. If I do make it over I'd be happy to give you a lift home. Would it be you plus kit? Regards. Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helimed01 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi Norman. Is that Burghley park Lincolnshire? If it is (only Burghley I can find in UK) it is only 117.1 miles from Oxford: http://route.rac.co.uk/routeplanner.cgi ... Submit.y=9 Your friends will love a drive into the country and if they all shuffle up a bit you might just squeeze yer monster + kit in. The Mrs won't notice. Regards Whitters.

mike1714 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 What sort of time people arriving tomorrow? I have a meeting in west Kensington and should be there just before lunch time? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I aim to be there by 09:00 to set up. I should think that 10:00 will be when people start to arrive. If anyone fancies helping out with a few Tac signs then I will see you at 0900. FOR DIRECTIONS... FOLLOW THE ARMY TAC SIGNS WHICH ARE A WHITE CIRCLE WITH A BLACK ARROW ON.

norman Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Whitters, I have feigned a wooden leg, tried to escape at 0300 and talked of an ageing auntie with dropsy. All to no avail. I thought at one stage we would be away in Lisbon but that got changed and got me all excited, then unfortunately this re-emerged. Sometimes sacrifice is a glorious thing, at others its diplomacy that get you where you want to go - like France in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learner_driver Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 A Tip from the Skydivers. This weekend and forever more, if you get the chance to help someone to get airborne. do everyone a favour and do a preflight with them its apparently what they do in skydiving. you can't jump in skydiving without doing a joint preflight check All I mean is check the obvious straps riser connections speedbar is connected Tip steering is secure Pilot is not wearing a tie no loose bits string etc the stuff you do for yourself trimmers in the closed position. if we all adopt this flying can only be safer. thanks to skydiver Eddie for this tip lets all try this weekend Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druffuk Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!! Sorry guys, was hoping to attend my first fly-in and have been scuppered by a family event. Not happy and the weather is looking so good too..... Maybe by the next one, so need to kick some butt and get up for my first flight. Everyone that is going, have an awesome time!!

learner_driver Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I personally am setting myself the personal challenge of being the most drunk person at the flyin. let me know if there are any challengers. Roaring drunk -- when you have achieved this state you must place both arms in the air and announce that you are in fact roaring drunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_d. Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am usually a strong contender for the most drunk, I find it such an easy thing to do, only thing is I,ve missed a few good morning flights through being wrecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_k Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I do hope you're all having a fabulous time. It's far too windy over here to go flying so I'm quite jealous at the moment Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Alan it was excellent, two perfect flying days out of three and I believe everyone flew with at least one first flight - well done Simon ! Balloons galore and peachy sunsets just about sums it up. There was a Spitfire doing aerobatics before the Hogroast and live music on Saturday night, and even a Red Arrows flypast on the Sunday while we were packing up. Thanks to SimonW for organizing a top event and and a gold star for hiring a hot jacuzzi for the pilots to chill out in after flying. I managed three balloons and a glory photo !!

outkast Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 what a cracking weekend, well done to Simon for organising it, as Dan said we even got an impromptu display by a spitfire, good to see some new and old faces again, there were no major mishaps and everyone seemed to have a good time, bring on the next one.
