Cheers for that input @LysanderV8 . I am always happy to take on board the wisdom of somebody with a little more insight than I .
[That's probably most of them here,, ]
But seriously , I am rather excited that a new phase could be about to begin for SHM . Despite being very critical of its recent past , I have a bit of a soft spot for the old place , as I was introduced to GA at Shoreham back in the early 1970s , when an old retired policeman took me up in a C.172 . I'm sure he rented it from Toon . I distinctly remember rwy 03/21 being grass back then . This same old boy had a funny little VW powered single seater in his garage . Which from the knowledge I have now , believe was probably a Tipsy Nipper . I'd love to know if it ever flew .
But re: the forthcoming fly-in . Let's pray for a good day weather-wise and that a new era for SHM is just around the corner .
..........Oh and @malcolmfrost . I have arrival slot #10 and I promise no 'Jumbo circuits' and will attempt to vacate expeditiously ...
