Hi All,



Just a note about the Fly-In and Europa Club AGM at Laddingford this Saturday 11th July.



There is no need to PPR as reading this is sufficient.



The radio in use will be Safetycom 135.475 so all calls to be preceded and ended with Laddingford Traffic.



The weather looks set to be fair with a south easterly wind so we will be using runway 29 which is 750 meters long. Circuits will be right hand (to the north) at 1000ft.



(In the unlikely event that the weather does suddenly take a drastic turn for the worse we will do it all on Sunday 12th).



At the end of your landing roll you should turn right on to runway 03 then turn right on to the taxiway towards the hangars where you will be marshalled for parking.



There is no landing fee to pay, but there will be a charge of £5 per person for food at the food tables.

Hi David,



I'm also thinking about coming on Saturday, but will have to leave around 15:00 LOC to arrive back in Germany in time.



Do you have fuel (50 litres) available, otherwise I'll refuel at Rochester with UL 91 in advance. 



RWY 29 for south-easterly wind?



BTW: I have an oil cooler (13 row) left over which I don't need and I can bring it, if anyone is interested.

Roland,



Well spotted.



Sorry but slight brain fade, and I read my message a good 5 or 6 times before I posted it, just to make sure it was right.



The forecast wind for this weekend is South Westerly so it will be runway 29 in use.



There is no fuel for sale at Laddingford but some private arrangements may be possible.

Dave,

  If the wind is forecast southeasterly would not 11 be preferable? I do like landing into wind,especially after that valuable tuition you gave me ten years ago!

Best regards   Jim

Maybe an odd question - isn't it best to choose RWY appropriate to the then prevailing wind direction on arrival?



Or has the RWY to be designated in advance?

Hi Roland.



I think the East and West got transposed.

See the Europa club web site for the amended text

I need to borrow a signpost or a banner or a flag with the Europa Club name and/or logo. This is for use at the RSA EuroFly-In Vichy, France on 17-18 July.

Is there such a thing I could get at Laddingford and carry back home on board my plane?

Remi,

No problem as long as you can get it back to me by the LAA Rally at 

beginning of September.

See you Saturday.

Thanks; great weather, great venue and food and good to be with like minded builders/flyers. Thanks to the organisers and helpers.

As with the LAA rally, It would help me immensely if people, when they booked in, were given a badge with plane reg and name; I'd then be able to match them up contributions to the magazine, forum and plane. 



Personally I'd forgo the three magazines per year which seems to take such printing and distribution cost and effort for some more adhoc on-line member only global content of trips and mod experience; complementing the invaluable info in this forum.

A really good day at Laddingford yesterday - great weather, great company and superb catering. My thanks to all those who made this possible.

I sincerely hope that the unfortunate incident in the afternoon has not resulted in any lasting injury to the crew concerned.

I'd also like to thank those involved in the organization for that smashing event. Special thanks also to David Watts for supplying fuel for my return trip to Germany. 



You don't get to see so many Europas lined up on the other side of the channel.



Concerning the crash landing in the afternoon - I was thinking everyone walked away from the scene and I saw no ambulance. I didn't hear anyone talking about injuries either, so I indeed hope no one got hurt.

By all accounts I missed a "classic" fly-in. Can anyone post up some 

pictures (of rows of 'planes  - not the unfortunate mishaps)?

Actually, as the pilot of the second 'mishap' on Saturday at Laddingford, when G-IKRK ended up in the ditch to the left of the runway, if anyone has a photo of the aircraft in the ditch, could they send it to me as a private message.  Thanks (and also to all for the help and support after the incident - much appreciated) .
