Unfortunately Cymaz the surprising amount of damage internally means a rebuild is very unlikely. The crash basically ripped everything out of place damaging all the structure and twisted the whole airframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence intended. I'm not aware that the mag did that Martin? As far as I know they had no input to the running of the event at all?

Looks like i managed to record the reason for the crash. I might send this away to a claims company....'Had an accident that wasn't your fault!!' Haha.

BEB Martin, RCM&E made no demands on the organisers for slots or otherwise. The running of the event was entirely left to the club. Please check the information you deem to make public before hitting the send button. I've PM you. Glad folks got some flying in on Sunday, great pics Dylan Edited By David Ashby - RCME on 24/05/2016 09:24:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've got fingers crossed for the July Fly-In, I think Martyn K is up for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I do hope so. Hire van ordered and hotel booked. Though I have the chance to cancel with 24 hrs notice. I wish it doesn't come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin McIntosh Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I have been watching the forecast for Walsall for a few days now and if the wind strength persists I shall have to give it a miss due to the amount of preparation involved and having been caught out before. August maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Barlow Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 It usually calms down in the evening! Put some lights on something! If the wind persists I'll take a few more foamies I have less of an attachment to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'll be there - baring the absolutely unforeseen! Hotel booked etc., so sort of committed! Although due to some last second issues I did lose out on the Don Valley Fly-in at the last minute - but let's hope history does not repeat itself this time. I'll be there even if the weather is rubbish - just to have chat etc if nothing else! And as others have said, its only Tuesday and forecasts 4-5 days ahead in the UK are notoriously difficult to get right, so they can get it very wrong! I certainly wouldn't be suggesting anyone writes-off going at this point. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Because of another clash of dates and a long-booked trip to the Isle Of Man on Saturday on my motorbike for the Southern 100 races, I can't come to Greenacres. I'm definitely not going to miss in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 How will the flying strip be positioned please ? SW- NE ? Or SE-NW? Edited By cymaz on 05/07/2016 14:15:27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Reckon I'll be there at some point. A few unknowns at the moment so it may be the full weekend or just one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just been asked to be in Zagreb on Sunday. Told them to b----r off in case the forecast improves. One has to get one`s priorities right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited By cymaz on 05/07/2016 14:15:27 Strip runs parallel to Airfield drive SSW to NNE. It's also quite wide so has quite a range before getting into a cross wind.
