Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

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

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

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?

This has really caught my imagination, and dare I suggest it as an objective for a fly out sometime in 2005. There are already a few FFO proposed for next year, but this would do a nice few days trip. Havnt checked the French map yet for airfields,...

Looks like it should be very flyable this afternoon, particularly once the front has gone through. The TAF and the radar are in good agreement that Gatwick/Redhill should be free from it by about 13:00, so I'll be flying west.

I feel like popping...

I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday pencilled in as possibles for an additonal logging of an aerodrome this week.

Anyone fancy Dunsfold?

Only open weekdays I understand and if the facilities are non existent there are plenty of others around...

As I write this I should have been landing in Mali with an Italian Airforce Hercules but the flight has again been postponed - new ETD is next Sunday. The fluctuating departure date was the cause of me continuously bouncing my UK weekend. Apologies...

Just thought all you rotary people would like to know about a Christmas get-together we're having - you can attend with or without your helicopter, there will be lots of booze and jolly good company no matter how you choose to arrive!

There will,...

2Ds et moi decided it was a good idea to get ourselves well in position before the Xmas onslaught and to that effect want to meet up for some spare ribs or similar food on the 21st.

We know where we are going but age has taken its toll and we can...

Anyone want to join me?

It'll entail an overnight in the Stratford/Wellesbourne area on Thu evening.

All dependent on Singh fixing my aeroplane in time.

Reply to bigLIZZie at Hotmail.com please.

Here I find myself with aircraft but without passengers or plan... anyone flying anywhere today? How about White Waltham for lunch? I need to know in the next 20 mins or so... come on - i know there are some sad enough SFs!!!

mid morning on Thu to Blackpool, early evening Fri back to Biggin.

Provisional requests to biglizzie at Hotmail.com

Only provisional for the moment as I may use the flight for my MEP/IR renewal.

Due to the small amount of support for a Not a Crimbo Lunch Lunch, or something similar it has been suggested that people would find a Mustang Burger or even the lightweight Stearman alternative attractive on the 1st Saturday in December.

Any...

On Sunday 28th the Colonel and I will be going to Le Touquet at, er, approximately the same time and then returning to Biggin at...er,..roughly the same time, from where the Colonel will be going back to Shoreham.

I will definitely have some...

I think I'm going to pop over to White Waltham for a spot of lunch this afternoon (Sat 27th). I expect I'll be there from about 1230 onwards if anyone feels like joining me?

I feel its time for another M27 beer in.

Where shall we go??

Scud

There is a rather nice Thai restaurant in Watford near Daventry.

Happy to organise a bit of a no Christmas meal there for forumites and partners.

Is there any interest for such a venture?

If so can I have a show of hands for 27/11?

Peter and I are flying from Exeter to Waterford via a DME approach at Swansea for some IFR refresher training.

Anyone want to make a group lunch at Waterford?

If the weather is off-limits then it will be lunch at Swansea as the fall-back.

So, with reference to this disturbing news , where are we going to go on Saturday then?

Any suggestions for a central-ish location where we can meet and keep the cold turkey at bay?

Edit: And Morley's away - woohoo!!! :D :D :D ;)

I'll be stuck there with nobody to play with. Any locals fancy a meal?

I'll be roughly half way between Birmingham and East Midlands airports.

Will be there with mrs SM some time this avvy if anyone's about.

Fly-out arriving on-site Keyston 11:00 Saturday 13th Nov, no further PPR required for any aircraft from Sywell, Leicester or Little Gransden. The rest of you taildraggers can just turn up, but nose-draggers (other than from airfields mentioned...

Off to Shobdon for Brunch arriving 10.30/11.00. It's short notice but anyone care to join me? Decent fry up guaranteed..... calorie counters shouldn't attend. :D :D

By popular demand Jersey it is then. Bring your jerry cans, assortment of inflatables and arrive on fumes.

Date could be mid week and perhaps needs to be flexible for le meteo. Suggestions on a postcard please.

Anyone fancy keeping me company:

Sunday 7th late afternoon Biggin - Glasgow

Monday 8th late afternoon Glasgow - Teesside

Tues 9th early evening Teesside - Biggin

It will all be night IFR a mixture of airways and non-airways.

CHRISTMAS MEAL

Having been strong-armed by Frank, our resident Dutchman into sorting this idea out - here is the plan.

I am going to pick a venue in London and a date in December and we will aim for an evening get-together

How are we...

Weather looks promising. Anyone up for a bacon buttie?

RHS going begging too.

Who is planning to go firework watching from above tonight?

Here's a debriefing page from a GA Fly In we had with some (60 or so) friends in Greece in the last week of October following a (lalf) summer of GA grounding in Greece due to Olympics' Restrictions.

Includes link for pictures gallery on line...

Anyone going flying anywhere? Within hour and a half of Shoreham in a 152? Early afternoon most likely. Kemble sort of direction or North East above Southend/Clacton way.

Note to self - must remember it gets dark early :? :twisted:

Prompted by the slightly patchy Virtual History programme on one of the more obscure satellite channels last night, I am going to make another visit in my occasional series of trips to former Nazi landmarks .

:cry: Sadly, we can't keep the caff going - it's just not sustainable - so Nov 1st will see the caff under new management. There is a hope that Nathalie might still be manageress, and that I will still get to hang aeroplanes for most of the week....

Not many T'Hawks around in private hands but perhaps enough to get together sometime in May/June 2005. Anyone interested? My strip has enough parking for about a half dozen but Fenland would be a better bet if more could make it.

Post a response...

Got CW booked tomorrow - wx looks promising.

Anyone going anywhere?

Help!

I am stuck in a seriously sh1tty hotel in the backside of Wolverhampton somewhere.

Anyone in the area free for a curry or Eyetie?

The next time I can get our group plane on a weekend all day is Oct. 24th! Is anyone willing to organise a fly in somewhere that day, before the long winter nites set in.

IOW was mentioned in an earlier thread, but I'll go anywhere, almost!

So...

Hmm? Hmm?

Love to do it, appointments & travelling permitting.

I know Londres is sooooo central :lol: but couldnt some alloweance be made for us poor northerners?

We do a good cowheel pie oop 'ere you know.

Anyone interested in a nice piece of aviation related rivalry?

A quiz night with teams consisting of plankers, whiskers, gliders and microwavers all competing for the Flyer Forum cup.

After massive public demand (18 e-mails from Jenni) we will be running another Forumite aeros day at Goodwood on Thursday 21st Oct. The plan is to offer discounted Bulldog aeros profiles to anybody who'd like to come and have a go, although we will...

Following on from tall_guys recent thread on the increasing number of Shorehamite Forumites scuderia suggested a meeting of the many for a few beers. Well I waited and no suggestions so here we go:

Just a reminder for all who are coming: the Essex Curry is at the Taste of Bengal in Hornchurch, on 11th October at 1930 local.

Weather looks good tomorrow.

Anyone wanna meet for lunch?

Wx for Saturday looking pretty good (even seen some CAVOK on the long TAF): anyone going anywhere good tomorrow? Shame to waste a fine day's flying: beats finishing the coving in my lounge.

Sniff

There was a thread about a trip to Ostende last week which I now can't find. I was attempting to blag a ride 8) and I think Colonel Panic was one of the people who offered. Is the trip still on and if so who is going?

No blue rinses, green-eyed monsters or false positives here.

I've decided to fly a right-hand circuit today (Saturday). In true SF style, it'll encompass most of London, with my downwind leg stretching from Stokenchurch to North Weald. I'll probably be having a bite to eat there at about 12:00 local if anyone...
