Guest Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 All, Every year, we have a fireworks display in the field at the back of my house. We have access to full on public display fireworks and will be making use of this contact :-) The fly-in will be in the field during the day time of Saturday the 5th of November (camping is encouraged) The people in the village will be donating £5 per person to help to pay for the fireworks and food. We spent about £500 last year on fireworks and I think its fair to say that everyone was more than happy with the result. Please use the vote above to let me know if you will be attending this explosive fly-in we need numbers for the food arrangements. I now its early days, but it is helpful to us to know rough numbers.

Guest Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 To make sure its clear... This is a party. If its not flyable during the day then we can go for an extended pub lunch The evening will extend past the fireworks into Party mode. There is no reason not to come, unless your a party pooper. Families & children welcome. Please bring wood if you have any (not old sofas!) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_b Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well we have to land to pick more up so we drop it on the fire while landing, load up and go around again. Waiting for the "your not allowed to drop it from the air" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 No one owning up the the +3 then? Who else is coming? Locally we have about 10-15 pilots who will be here and 10 - 20 local non pilots for the fireworks. Don't plan your life around the weather! Its a party, if its flyable thats a bonus SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
