I have been asked to forward this message on behalf on Trevor Jackson, the
Europa Club s Social Sec.
EUROPA CLUB FLY-IN
The Europa Club will be holding its first fly-in at Wathstones Farm Strip, Newby
Wiske, Nr Northallerton, North Yorks on Saturday 17th August.
The strip is located 54.16.40 N 1.26.40 W, 3 miles east of RAF Leaming, where
the River Wiske meets the disused railway line, as seen on most good half-mil
charts. Runways 06L, 24R, 450m long, down gradient of 1.3% on 06. Surface is
well mown grass. Low telephone wires 20m from threshold of 24. Avoid overflying
Newby Wiske village. Aircraft attending the fly-in should call Leemimg Zone on
120.50MHz, not their usual LARS frequency.
Were invited to visit RAF Leemings ATC facility, meet the controllers and see
LARS in action. We need to report to the main gate at 13.00. Sadly we can only
go by car, were not permitted to fly in, but therell be plenty of car spaces
for those who fly to Newby Wiske. For security reasons they need to know numbers
of visitors and car registration numbers before the convoy leaves Newby Wiske,
so please advise me when you arrive if youll be going to Leeming.
Other attractions, Europas, Europa people, other aircraft, barbecue ( a late
lunch if youve been to Leeming), Sion Hill Hall stately home and falconry
centre, 10 minutes walk from the strip. All welcome.
Any queries please call Trevor Jackson on 0114 287 6216.
