Wellesbourne Mountford 26/02/2017

[Dylan]

Evening all,

Whilst all the debating, will it close will it not, a group of pilots have arranged an invasion, ahem, gathering, at Wellesbourne on the 26th February. No idea how many are planned to get there so far, although there's a fair few who are definitely flying in and about 10 spotters have said they'll go by road. Just a heads up, in case anybody wants to go.

Cheers
Dylan

Quick update, there's 25 "definites" and 43 "maybes" so far. Hopefully I'll be flying up in a Mooney from Southampton and back .

I'm afraid Wellesbourne have said no now. Originally they were all for it, ordered everything but have now done a U-Turn. This is now scheduled to be held at Shobdon on the same date.

There was another date planned. I think it was something like May 28th? I heard a rumour that were to be about 400 visiting aircraft!
I wonder if that is still on?

I'm sure it still is, I haven't a clue why but the guy who set this one up, the airfield apparently don't like him.  I didn't bother getting involved in the argument so I dont know the ins and outs, but apparently this group (the smaller one) set this up behind the other groups back or something. Lol!
