haze Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hey folks, Was anyone here up the air on Sunday evening about 6pm over near the Pfizer headquarters between Reigate and Headley? I was flying alongside someone for a while (we waved to each other - awww! ) The wing was blue/orange, but I was at the wrong angle to spy what make. Be nice to know if it was a regular and if so start forming a merry band of pilots in the area. Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenloen Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hiya, There have been a few pilots taking off from Nork Park regularly this past week. I was talking to one of the pilots whilst walking my dog. They generated a fair intrest, I suppose that’s why I am here.. On Monday evening there were 3 in flight visible above Tadworth.

kenloen Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 cool, looks like you found a good launch site there. Any plans for flights this week I might pop along to see the prep work and take off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Guys, did you know about the microlight strip at Rushett Farm, Leatherhead Rd, Chessington, Surrey, KT9 2NH Just a thought, may be worth approaching to see if they are PPG friendly ?? cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah I'm planning to drop in to Rushett Farm and see what they say. They have a helicopter that I often see landing there. With that flying around they MAY be a little apprehensive about letting us fly there, but it's worth popping in and asking. As for flying this week... Today is looking a little windy...but tomorrow is looking good. I'm planning an early start tomorrow (8ish) for a flight. And then maybe again in the evening.

kenloen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 was that you taking off Saturday morning 9am at Nork? I was walking the dog just as you were taking off, all the footy kids thought it the coolest thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yep...that'd be me. They call me "Paraman" or "Birdman". Everyone there seems to love it. It's really cool. I got a round of applause the other day when I landed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrant Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Steve, where abouts in the park do you park and take off from? I think Nork Park could be the closest launch site to home for me. I may have a look Sunday 18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Gotta be careful not to saturate it. The football club dont mind me using the field, but technically it's council land...so I wouldnt go there all the time. I just do quick launches and go and nobody minds. We've got a couple more fields (some with full on permission) that are around the area, so give me a shout and we can maybe arrange to meet for a drink and a chat. My motor is under repair at the moment, but still happy to meet up and point out the local places to ya. My number is 07968 345554. Give me a shout Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
