Due to the cancellation of the Vintage Piper Aircraft Club (VPAC) Fly In at Stow Maries in August due to the weather, it’s looking likely that the Sunday will be also be used as a VPAC gathering as an unofficial substitute. I’m hoping to take the Colt in at some point on Sunday, so if any forumites happen to likewise fly in, hopefully I’ll be able to meet some of you.

A friend of Rougham airfield has come forward with a generous offer as a fuel sponsor for tomorrow and Sundays vintage, and all comers fly in.

To qualify you must have flown in, and collected your free raffle ticket when booking in. This immediately enters you into the draw, winning ticket will be drawn at 16-00 hours daily. Prize will be £150-00 CASH or fuel to the amount, if under the difference given in CASH

Nothing to stop you attending both days and winning twice......!!!!

Weather forecast looks great, the more visitors the better, from micro lights, fixed wing single and twin and rotary, all welcome
Free fuel for a days flying to the two lucky winners thanks to our sponsor, we look forward to seeing you over the weekend.

I seem to remember this fuel thing being run before - the winner had left by the time the draw was made and I had to fly the money back to the winner at (IIRC) White Waltham on the way home! :D

88 arrivals and a very happy Cherokee pilot from North Weald who took away a £150-00 cash prize. Doing it again tomorrow with a further £150-00 up for grabs, forecast looks as good if not better

If all those who have PPR'd for Sunday we make break 100 arrivals, and if you haven't just pitch up. Make calls to Rougham Radio 123.165 from 5 miles out, overhead joins at 1500 ft on the QFE, descend dead side all circuits right hand. See you tomorrow

Control tower museum did a roaring trade, as did the BBQ, a great informal event, and show case for GA, a chance for the public wander amongst the parked aircraft, chat to pilots and enjoy themselves

Sadly I had to leave at about 12.30 today, so don’t know which other forumites turned up. Looked to be another good turn out...
