Sunday 21st September 2008
13:00 |
The Zero Boys are back in
town,,,, :-) and would like to invite "the IBM Flyers" to join
them for lunch and a relaxing afternoon watching the aeroplanes at
the picturesque Compton Abbas airfield on Sunday 21 September.
Summer will have arrived by that time?
Some of us will be flying G-ZERO again from 1300, as trial flights
with Abbas Air instructors, rekindling memories of many happy hours
together. No doubt there will plenty of other flying going on to
entertain.
Fly-in, drive in, bike in.. Bring a picnic or buy lunch at the
restaurant. No formal organisation - easy come easy go - just
another excuse to get-together, do a little flying, and while away a
lazy Sunday afternoon! :-)
Please let me know if you are
interested, Jon Butts

I have obtained permission for
20 of us to visit RNAS Yeovilton.
This is purely a DRIVE IN and
I will give active pilots priority mainly because of the ATC aspect.
Good news - up to 30 people
may attend and this event is open to all so please inundate me with
your enthusiasm.
Plan: Arrive in the car
park at Yeovilton by 10:15 where we will be met and taken airside.
We will then see a DVD on the station, visit ATC, historic flight,
another hangar (don't know the details of this) Lunch will be
available and will cost £6 approx a head and I will need the numbers
for catering. I'll also need your money as I'll be paying the bill!!
After lunch we should be visiting one of the squadrons but that is
not yet confirmed. Visit should finish by 15:00 which will
give time to visit the museum also.
Please let me know if you are
interested, Clare

No
particular time |
Here is
an offer to the IBM Flyers who are not themselves 'active pilots'
anymore but who want to get airborne this summer.... It goes
something like this: You provide the excuse to go flying. i.e.
name the place and the day for the IBM Fly-in you're interested in,
say Cosford, Jersey or some such. I will provide the aeroplane
and flying services - you get front seat to the fly in with me, in a
Cirrus out of Bournemouth/Blackbushe/Shoreham/Lee. Other IBM
Flyers get to join in with their aircraft too.
You don't have to organise anything in a heavyweight way. Keep it
simple: name the place and the date, and provide a phone number for
the other crews (to let you know on the day if they cancelled or not
due weather). Booking in/ Passing on crew/aircraft details to the
RAF or whoever would be each crew's job, not yours.
