We may have a problem with the trip. It is our intention to take the
Europa over to the U.S. later this year to enjoy some "winter flying" so
we may not have it available in September, as it all depends on when the
container people need it by, to ensure it arrives when we are over
there. So it may be that we have to join you in our Rockwell instead,
only trouble with that is that we intend putting it up for sale this
summer as our twin Comanche will be finished and flying by late summer.
So we cant give you details of what aircraft we are likely to have
available at the time! It may be best to leave us off your paperwork
list and we can do our own nearer the time, but please keep us informed
of developments and who to contact etc. so we can get the necessary
stuff done when we are able to.
Hope that all made sense?
Kind Regards
Alan

I am planning a Europa Club Fly Out to La Gomera in the Canaries,
starting on 17 September. I envisage flying about 500 nm a day (in 2
bites) with stops in S. France, Spain & Morocco (Marakech) on the way
down, and Morocco, Gibraltar, Portugal and France on the way back. La
Gomera is relatively undeveloped island with interesting volcanic
structure, with a nice small and inexpensive airfield, near to a very
pleasant and moderately priced hotel, and I plan a 2 day stop there. We
would need to island hop from Morocco along the Canaries chain, with the
longest sea crossing about 53 nm. Getting permission to fly in Morocco
is a bit tortuous, and there are other issues to consider like extending
insurance for those whose cover doesn't already include the top left
hand bit of Africa, so I need expressions of interest by the end of
June. The dates have been chosen to fall outside the peak tourist season
and to anticipate manageable ambient temperatures. The finish date
naturally depends on us not being held up by adverse weather. The party
size will be limited to 6 aeroplanes.
Anyone interested contact me by email or phone 01454 260542
