7th/8th good for me. I'm away 22nd but could do 28th/29th. 7th or 8th would be my preference though.

Ok, the 8th is now booked. The height limit is 6ft 4" weight is roughly 16 stone. £32 for 2 winch launches with an instructor. Bring whoever you want to bring but if they want to fly they will obviously have to pay £32. I cant unfortunately arrange a driving part to this as I will have to be at the club organising the flying side of it. The clubhouse has a bar in it so drinks are available after flying or before if anyone prefers. Time of flying should be 6 o clock so if everyone arrives by 5.30 so we can get everything organised and a better idea on numbers to fly. (He hasnt yet confirmed this time but it should be about right, If it changes I will post). Link to the club find us page :- http://www.uskgc.co.uk/find_us.htmlAny problems you can get me on 07805001408

Unfortunately its the cost I can't really make, even though this is a really great deal. Some fairly expensive work needs doing to get it to pass & I need to save every penny I can having just got the turbo done AND renewed my insurance! Plus my old MOT certificate expires on Friday so I need to get it done sharpish to avoid needing to be recovered to the garage to get it done!

Ok,
For those who are attending today :-
There should be a short informal briefing before everyone flies on safety etc. at about 5.30 followed by flying then off to the clubhouse for snacks in the way of sandwiches that have been laid on.
I hope you all enjoy it, see you soon.

Great, see you all later! I may be sometime between 5.30-6 though.
Do I take the coop (no satnav), or the jag (satnav)?!

I decided to take the coupe in the end as my wife can no longer make it so comfort is not a question.

A very enjoyable evening, just a shame more could not turn up.
Thanks for organising it Rob.
For me the bizzare thing was discovering that the flying instructor and I went to the same grammar school and that we were taught by some of the same teachers.
It was followed by a rapid trip home; 130 miles in 120 minutes door to door.

I must appologise to you Rob and others. I had somehow incorrectly thought that we were flying today Doh! I am also gutted to have missed the event and meet up. I was really looking forward to giving this a go, I even drove up there recently just to check it all out first. Rob is this something that may happen again this year? Mr T.

It's definitely something I'd like to try some more of, we spoke about arranging another date sometime in August, give folk on here a bit of notice and to take deposits to make it worth everyones time! And to Dan, I definately heard a scream as you went up the launch ???? Well everyone did lol
That would have been the harness pinching my crotch, that's why you didn't hear it the second time Quite enjoyed the empty M4 in south wales on the way home too, although try as I did, I couldn't quite replicate the sub 2 second 0-60 of the winch launch!! Now, maybe if I can fit that V8 launch motor in the coop, hmmmm.... You'll have to get your 372bhp beast on a track too Rob. Wasted on the road, even the deserted M4 in south wales!

I'll keep an eye out for if this happens again, I was looking forward to it - gutted that (another!) expensive repair bill came at just the wrong time! Still, I suppose that owning a Coupe I should assume this will probably be the case most of the time!

As I was saying to Pete and Dan yesterday we might be able to set a date for august - septmeber time.
I will make sure its a bit more arganised this time and as Dan says take deposits so we know that people are going to attend.
