New Year's Day

[Waveflyer]

The same happened at the Leicester Summer Fly In. I find it weird how everyone makes the effort to turn up, but few people know who's there and many people end up going home having sat on their own for a couple of hours.

It needn't happen -- viewtopic.php?f=1&t=80166 -- is the answer. Still a few left.

Pity Glos wasn't open today, Leicester would have been a nice trip. Maybe next year

When we got back to Sturgate we all agreed that our visit to Leicester was a fantastic start to the New Year. We waited an hour for food but there were 50 folk having a day off and three ladies working so that we could enjoy ourselves. I cannot agree with previous posters that this was poor. Thank you Leicester for making us welcome and Happy New Year to your staff.

I had the fish and chips. I waited a while, but the food, the company and the atmosphere were all good. And we had a great view of the various aircraft coming and going. So, thank you Leicester!

Waveflyer, use indemnity, and 27/09 is yours.

A le Ron, thanks. It's a fun machine for sure.

Great to see everyone at Leicester today and what great flying weather. Luckily by the time our food turned up the rush was over and the Wife and I had a nice quiet lunch.

Pete, your bacon buttie turned up at 14:30 and it was delicious.

Bembridge was very busy. So many had called for ppr that the expected non radio arrival had become an air ground one.

Some huge grin factor moments on the way there and back with Mottley Formation

Glad you enjoyed it: At 14.30 I was just crossing the Lakenheath CMATZ....

Great day at Leicester: It's my preferred stop for any pax who have never flown before as to me it typifies everything that GA is all about.

I'll have a Bacon butty next time..........

It was fairly peaceful until Mottley Formation turned up!

The Propeller was the busiest I have ever seen it, albeit mostly non-aviators.

The Bournemouth Massive were absent from the skies yesterday, despite the clear blue sky.

It would be interesting to know if this was due to the current lock-down of airside access gates or some other reason. There were only a handful of light aircraft movements at Bournemouth all day (excluding a Duchess on a training flight).
