We're hoping to deploy a patch in the early hours of Weds 4 December to fix the non-consistent forum / main site remain-logged-in problem that has been a headache for a while.

Please don't be surprised if you are logged out when this happens, but...

Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

If you are planning an event, be it a small lunchtime meal or a huge fly-in then why not tell us about it so we can include it in our web listing?

When people write the title of their fly-ins, please can they add a date too? It makes it so much easier to look down the list to see what's on that particular weekend, rather than having to open them all.

I’m pleased to announce that the popular “Great Vintage Flying Weekend” is returning to Kemble over the weekend of 30th May / 1st June 2025.

All types welcome (not just for vintage).

Put the dates in your diary - further details to follow.

It will be on us before you know it :santa:.

The usual pre-Christmas drinks and meal in central London. It will probably take the usual format of drinks at De Hems followed by a meal at Gerrard's Corner, China Town. Who’s up for it ?

We may vary...

Wednesday 9th April to Saturday 12th April. Hopefully, the weather will be a little more conducive to flying down again (unlike this year). The usual hotel booked in Meersburg.

Anyone else flying down ?
