Hi Bob,
I really appreciate and applaud the idea of weekday fly-ins but have not
registered interest yet as I am not sure how much use a hundred replies
would be saying "Sorry, can't make it", or "from where I sit, the weather
will be agin me". I agree that in this climate (or is it weather we get in
UK) only very short notice can be given for this sort of social, but is
still very worth while - even if only two or three people can turn up. After
all, we have the 'freebies' and if we can meet up with others it enhances
the day.
Anyway, I am one that would like to be involved but today's weather at
Oxford was not nice and I am in France on Friday, so apologies in advance
for not being at Sherburn then. I agree - the weather on Friday does look
promising.
I will most likely be taking my 'plane off the airfield at the end of the
November for a few months so won't be 'in the frame' until March-ish, but
just thought I would pen this note to the Site as a vote of support for the
idea.
Regards,
Peter

Hi! All.
Just a line to report that only one intrepid flier(Dave Watts) and his wife
navigator made it to Sandtoft today.I went, of course, and since he turned
up I'm pleased I did ! Sorry about the decision to proceed but Kent to
Lincolnshire was obviously flyable it was just a shame about the other
directions. However it didn't look too pleasant facing Dave for the return
trip, hope they made it OK?
Well, Chairman Allsop, obviously Chesterfield was likewise weathered in? I
regret that due to lack of numerous arrivals I forgot to hand the Organisers
mantle over to another participant for next week !
So here's a suggestion .....I'll take it again! only THIS Friday looks good
at present and knowing there is so many unfulfilled flyers I'm suggesting
Friday at Sherburn-in-Elmet(EGCJ) because I've unused vouchers for there too
! Hopefully there will be a resonable quorum to authorise the hand over of
the "organisers mantle"?
BTW if it should go ahead my Son will still need collecting from North Weald
at about 10.00 hours and he will have a hefty bag with him...... if no one
can collect him I will probably fly down and collect him myself prior to
Sherburn.
So I will need to decide last thing tomorrow night since if there's no
likelyhood of flying I'll need to leave here by car at 06.30 latest .
ANY TAKERS ? (Of the Sherburn idea primarily!)
Or am I being too presumptuous?
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG
