I can also recommend this (cos I work there - sometimes!!!)

This looks spot on - presumably they don't close the airfield for the weekend ? (if it's open over the weekend I might fly in with Liz rather than ride).

[slimwilly]

Yes,airfield is open,,here is the web site of them.

A huge range of visiting planes,old and new

Yes indeedee - the airfield is open but it will be PPR 

[Millietant]

Good stuff then. I'll give them a call and arrange to fly in. Might have a couple of other choppers come along - I've passed the info to quite a few other heli pilots. Depending on who comes, we could have my Schweizer, a couple of Cabri G2's or R22's and possibly a R44 and/or a Jet Ranger.


Here's hoping we get good skies ! If not, we'll have to come on the bikes.

Fazerscotty,,are you local ? or what do you do when you worked at the airfield?

[fazerscotty]

  Sort of local - ride over from Albrighton. Bridgenorth to Ludlow Rd is definitely Fazer territory  . I'm Chief Engineer for the Fixed Wing maintenance dept.
So if you see a red Gen 1 around, it maybe me 

[slimwilly]

Ah I see, how long you been working their ?

and yes the road to Bridgenorth is twisty and tight,some good ones around their,,the small A roads and B roads too

[slimwilly]

Not long until this venue is open,,a great day out in Herefordshire,,food and planes

On the Saturday afternoon, the BBMF Dakota will be performing a flypast at around 2:30pm and there will other flying displays including a P51 Mustang replica, plus of course FOOOD
