Morning Folks,

Just received a 'heads-up' about next years event... Courtesy of Peter Brown.

Please put July 1st and July 2nd 2017 in your diary....

Pete would very much appreciate volunteers for the two day event so please let us know if you would be available and willing to help with this extremely worthwhile event.

If you can respond, perfect.  But please indicate if you can do both dates, or just one (please indicate which).

We had a great day earlier this summer so let's pray for fine weather, big crowds and lots of aircraft....

Cheers lads.

Bill

Evening Bill et al..

Thanks for the "heads up" re Blackbushe 2017.

By means of indicating what July 1 and 2 will be all about read on...

First the term Air Day suggests a repeat of this year's event. Not the case... the term Air Day is over, it's now the Blackbushe Airport 75th Anniversary Celebration.  I hope to replicate the relaxed atmosphere where people, pilots and planes will have a safe and pleasant interface of last July, however, the significant factor is that we will be celebrating the Airport's 75th Anniversary. To this end we are planning a much more wide spanning operation including a flying display. The "don't take any risks, ever.." climate places many challenges in the way, with so much more red tape to hack through. However, I'm confident of a good outcome - I've got to be - the outcome largely depends on various bids for participation and how they are viewed by the men from the ministry.. These are the long dark days and nights when you feel that progress is incredibly hard with much to do and so many routes to follow..next summer will come all too soon, I just hope that it will prove these long hours were worthwhile?? Time will tell, but come the New Year I should be able to say more as to what's planned... perhaps I should question my sanity at taking this on, but I'm driven by my pro Blackbushe senses and the fact that we will hopefully make a nice pile of cash to donate to "Help for Heroes" and Aerobility..

Onward and upwards...

Hi, Have just heard about the show. I got my PPL at Blackbushe in 1984, with the Blackbushe School of flying........so happy memories for me. Do you still need any help? I would find it difficult to be on my feet all day, but would love to do something helpful, perhaps in the main building - Saturday or Sunday. Kind Regards, Jan
