Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeap - I'll be there Friday night - staying over until Monday as usual! Looking forward to it as I missed Greenacres this year. See you all there I hope! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not me I'm afraid. Like last year, it coincides with a cycling trip, last year Holland, this time France (for the second time this year). It's slightly annoying but I have to keep my tandem partner happy as she has to authorise my model spending Never mind, I'm sure Andy S will keep everyone behaving themselves at Barkston as usual ... in the best possible spirit, of course.

John Privett Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 As long as the weather is ok I'll probably come along on Sunday - like I did last year. If the weather is poor then it's not worth a 300 mile/5 hour round trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hooper Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Should be there on Friday for the entire weekend! Going to have a first go at the free flight bash in the evening. tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Will be there marshalling the evening fixed wing flightline with Paul again. Pop along if you can for some fun flying and banter! Looking forward to the CL and scale flightlines, what dreams are made of, and Pylon is just nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Green Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'll be there Sat / Sun this year. Where we meeting? A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecchio Austriaco Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Will be there Saturday - and I repeat Andy's question: Are we meeting and if yes - Where are we meeting ? VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The evening 2.4 fixed wing line is back onto Pylon, not Funfly as is was last year. The Drone line I think Andy said is on Funfly, I think, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecchio Austriaco Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 By the way - quite a strong presence of the Milton Keynes MAA - officers: Paul G (chairman, trade & flying, showline, Diamond ), Jonathan W (trade), Simon T (trade) So keep your purses under control. No problem for me - my wife will accompany me VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drone line I think Andy said is on Funfly, I think, Yes, fixed wing and autogyros (electric and on 2.4GHz) at pylon in the evenings, multi-rotors and helis at fun fly in the evening, again must be electric and on 2.4Ghz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 A meet up of forum members would be great always good to see old friends and meet "new" ones! How about in front (runway side) of the control tower which is easy to find. To give a maximum opportunity for meet up shall we say 2:00pm on Saturday and Sunday? Any thoughts and/or suggestions welcome. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The gates are open well into the dark, as they have floodlights around the area and someone on duty for when people arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Any more takers for the meet up? In front of the Control Tower, 2:00pm Saturday and Sunday - come along, say hello and meet all those people you chat to all year, but haven't seen face-to-face!

Chris Barlow Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yep I'll be there too. Where have you been BEB? Didn't see you at any of the Greenacres parties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Work has been absolutely manic this year Chris. I was very nearly going to miss the Nats as well when a drone job came in that was threatening to have to be done on Bank Holiday Monday! Fortunately some rejigging was possible in that case and so I will make it to Barkston! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
