So no chance of a meet at Wycombe / somewhere near Herts, then? I'm (still) happy to organise if necessary .

Pandalet, yes, there will probably be one near there. A few people have asked the same thing. It's all taking a bit more organising than I first imagined as there are other aspects we plan to look at instead of just all shooting the sh*t and drinking beer.
That will be a part of it hopefully. As mentioned, watch this space.

VeeAny and myself are hoping to sort out a few things tomorrow.


NB, not my website, all VeeAnys hard work.

There haven't been many takers for an Eastern region gig, so I will join either a Wycombe based do and/or, depending on location, the midlands.

Cheers

Whirlygig, fear not, I think there will be a few more people from that area. I haven't been in touch with anyone down that way yet and not all possibles visit pprune. Failing that, it would be good if you could get to the other meets.
VeeAny and myself are planning to get to as many as poss.

We could put 170' in highback on stage and have him tell us his tales form years gone by that alone would give us ample food for thought, we could even sell tickets for this and there fore pay for his plane ride.

An Audience With 170' with celebrity guests from around the rotay world! Hey cool BS, you can be his agent and I'll be his manager; we should make a small fortune! Maybe even a couple of quid!!

Cheers

What like Moses going to the mountain and not the mountain coming to Moses?

Whirlygig those couple of quid should buy us a couple of teas though.

What do you think 170', ready to be treated like a star?

I should be able to arrange something in Wycombe in the first week in March (3-7th). You will be very welcome Dennis!

Silverstone Brief 2008

As per the Silverstone '08 thread it appears that most pilots will be in Northants on 30th June why not find a biggish local pub to descend on after the brief - you've probably lost your days flying anyway!!

As Ian's court hearing is to be held in the first week of March (starting on the 3rd, possibly running to the 9th), could I suggest we push the Wycombe evening into the second week? How about Friday the 14th?

If nothing else, this'll allow us to debate the outcome!

That sounds like an ideal venue for the South West then! There will certainly be plenty of pro pilots hanging around during the day...

But I guess that there won't be much chatting 'over a beer or two.'
