Depends when tbh. I’m pretty solidly booked at the moment and all my gear has been packed away for over a month

Some GADC members have flown there in the past, they may be up for a re-visit @notveryprettyboy :smiley:

Just moved your poll to the first post @notveryprettyboy - it’ll get lost in the middle of the thread otherwise :slight_smile:

I’d love to meet up with some of you guys …my only concern is no fly area around East Midlands airport as it is pretty close by… I can’t check to be sure currently…I am out of the country until mid August however, but definitely count me in…work permitting

18

Yeah its pretty tight. It may be worth me asking permission. I do actually know a flight controller who works there…

19

Any other takers? @Proteous which dates are good for you. Just bumping it up in the listing!

Most Saturday or Sunday mornings are good with me… I say most, what i mean is, they are my days off, and they are the days i plan to do things.
