Morgan Goule Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 really dont think that they will come back as the police escorted them off site, usually they take them to the nearest motorway. Anyhow now we have a brilliant reason to celebrate and tear the strip right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Goule Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Jim you absolute nutter your forgetting to give yourself a pat on the back , if not for you we probably wouldn't even know so a big thanks to you and with regards to Ians 48% pitts (Desert Aircraft 150) I had asked him if he would bring it and he said he may bring it just depends on what else he puts in the trailer. I think that our unwanted guests will have made the weekend even more enjoyable now that we have the event back.

Jim Mchugh Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Morgan, Shouldn't you be in bed? Big day tomorrow! No mate, I did very little. Reg and Peaky did all the work. Being trailed by two "visitor youths" around Aldridge was quite interesting.,... Good luck tomorrow...

Ben Kelly Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This is excellent news that the event is still going ahead. Well done to all involved. I am very happy as this will be my first visit to Greenacres as a pilot rather than spectator. The car will be loaded up with my Edge 540, Piper Cub (Complete with GoPro for some aerial video), Vampire EDF and small Foamy Ryan STA. Excited is an understatement.

Old Geezer Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Well done all you GMAC blokes. Haven't been to a Fly-In since Old Warden 30-odd years ago, but was hoping to come on Saturday - then hugely disappointed by the threat of cancellation - but definitely coming now - can't let 'em down after all their efforts. If I can cram them all into the Fabia I'll be bringing the Black Bogie, Radjet, Pulse XT (25e), Mini Raven and an MPX e-glider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
