Thanks Sideslip.
I suspect that if the event is successful VAC may consider running a similar event in the future, maybe at an aerodrome near you?:)

Thanks Sideslip. Good to know that culture is not dead….merely sleeping 😀
Thank you Chris. Yes, I try to do my best for dear old culture. What a shame White Waltham is too far for me to go for me to recite it there myself!
But, have a great evening. It does sound good.

For those not too familiar with the location, just west of London, close to Maidenhead and M4 motorway.
A good chance too, to enjoy the atmosphere of the former ATA building, now the West London Aeroclub. A good chance for locally-based forumites to meet face-to-face too?

I’m guessing there’ll be a few in a similar vein, once a few WLAC beers have been had!!
It should be a fun evening. Certainly something a bit different. Looking forward to it. See you there!

Here’s a piece of aviation poetry for you.
A jet aircraft instructor from Surrey
Was talking to a student called Murray
Tell me, said the learner
Do you have after-burner
Only after a really hot curry.
