Does Airbase have a website?

I want to have a look around, but would prefer to do it when there is going to be something flying! How does one “book” to go along? does it cost much?

Cheers, Scott.

Vampire T.11 visitor

Airbase had a visitor yesterday (Wed) in the lovely shape of Vampire T.11.

Stopped en route from North Weald to Dublin for liquid refreshment (the aeroplane and the occupants).

It may call in on the return and may stay at Airbase for a little while.

The pic looking out of the window at an engine start with Dakota House in the background raises a bit of a smile.

It had been the habit to park the ‘6 on the apron tail-on to Dakota House. The smoke chucked out during start-up has set of the fire alarms in the offices more than once. It happened again Saturday – now the aircraft’s tail is no longer in that direction 😀

Did you come and have a peer through WR963?

We didn’t this time, but we’ll be regular visitors to Airbase, so didn’t want to get around everything too quickly!

Nice to see G-APSA has gained an interior again 🙂

Did you come and have a peer through WR963? 🙂

Thanks to everyone at Airbase for a great day yesterday.
If you haven’t been yet – Go! – You won’t be disappointed!

Nimrod XV232

Chipmunk G-APLO

And the highlight of the day – a taxy ride in the DC-6 G-APSA.
What a beast!

Not forgetting for all of you going to CWJ at brunty, Airbase is open tomorrow as will be WR963, We have a great canteen at baginton now too, so if you get a chance please come down and support this new and important project!

Cheers

Advert in local free paper today for the opening of Airbase THIS Saturday.
Admission: Adults £8, Children (over 8) £4.
Taxi rides in the DC-6 £15 (£5 discount on that if you’ve got a copy of the ad!)
Unfortunately there’ll be no pleasure flying this weekend as the airfield license is not complete yet.
However I believe the Howard 500 will be on static display.
From Saturday Airbase will be open Tues to Sun (plus Bank Hols).

As a volunteer at Classic Flight I have posted this for information to other forum users. If the mods think it as advertising please delete it. RS

Apologies, I was just referring back to an earlier bit of this thread from May 19 😮

Morse or not, that is frowned upon guys.
I moved Healey flyers post over onto a seperate thread to try and get this one back on track.

What are you on about you lunatic?

:rolleyes: Read the big bold obvious bit at the top of the post, muppet! The words ‘Morse’ and ‘Key’ appearing together are a bit of a giveaway.

Consider yourself Facepalmed.;)
Rich knew… 🙂

Ben, I think Blue_2 went looking for the Morse Key!

I can confirm… IT’S STILL THERE 😀

What are you on about you lunatic?

Morse key

Guess what essential hi-tech piece of equipment is the first thing I’ll be checking is still present when I finally get a look in ours?! :diablo:

I can confirm… IT’S STILL THERE 😀

Fingers crossed that it turns out to be a great day. I’m going to miss the opening, but if what we saw when the Nimrod was just a taster, then Airbase has a bright future ahead of it.

Ill be there matey 🙂 as will WR963 🙂 Ready for the first day of Airbase 🙂

Is anyone going on saturday? No pleasure flights now though the DC-6 rides are available.
