Just to let everyone know about a couple of planned trips this Summer, where people may be able to meet...

On Tuesday 26th June, myself and PMN will be at Stansted from about 1600 (the best and one of the only photography positions is only usable after about 4pm) and this is when the best traffic is too. We'll be staying right up until sunset. If anyone were to come down, I can take a maximum of 3 people about in my car.

The day after on the 27th we are flying to Cork, and then onto Dublin where we will arrive by 1300. We shall then be staying for the rest of the day, so people are welcome to come along. Some people may even wish to get a hotel room together at Stansted the night before, and come with us?

The flights were ridiculously cheap! It is £5.00 to Cork including taxes, and then 5.00EUR to Dublin again including taxes :eek:

Thread made a sticky. Please use this one thread for all posts about meets this summer as it will be alot easier than having lots of threads. Andrewm

Talked out of £9.69? Believe me, I didn't actually want you to come, I just thought trying to get you out there would be the polite thing to do after all those free lifts and car road trips you give me. I never actually expected you to say yes!

AHEM... For the sake of future free lifts and road trips, I am joking, of course! :D

We could be in for yet another messy evening in Dublin, Mr EGNM!

Now that's dedication! I'll probably be the same at LBA as long as we have a something that resembles sunshine!

I should have mentioned that spare time doesn't include sleep time which i have to say in summer is quite substantial!:D

I may be up for it depending on money as I have to pay a big trip off this week. I'll decided about a week or two before the trip is - Does anyone fancy a trip to Lanzarote though? Beach, sun, beer :diablo:

I am thinking of going to the Fairford airshow this year, possibly combining with with LHR and/or LGW and/or the RAF/USAF low-fly ranges in Wales. Anyone interested?

Hmm, Lanzarote. It's money dependant but it's a fine and possible idea!

That's a very kind offer, Si. May just have to investigate flights to BRS at some point!

Maybe drop a quick reminder in the forum nearer the 11th and I'm sure a few local-ish people may well join you!

Just thought...what the hell and went online to book a flight to Dublin on the 27th of June for the day to meet up with some of you guys...cost £8.29 inc taxes with RYR, then after booking it I checked my diary and I am in Cologne for a meeting.......damm (word I actually used is not allowed on forum). I must check diary before booking flights not other way around :o

If anyone wants to come to LGW I'd be happy to pop along, as I'm sure would other regulars from this neck of the woods. Just suggest a date! :D
