When I turned up at Conington yesterday afternoon for my flight the place was heaving!
as I walked into the Crew-room I saw a Chippie taking off, mainly Red, with some Blue I think, but I didn’t catch the reg,
I just wondered if it was any of the forumites practising their mountain flying over the fens? (we get some massive lenticulars building up from mole-hills:D )

Janie, will you be dropping into Conington on Sunday for the VAC rally?
If I can get the aircraft, I’ll definitely be there. Oh the joys of sharing. :rolleyes:
If someone else in the group has it, there’s a good chance it will turn up at Connington at some point in the day anyway. We like you a lot.

Sorry if my 1.5G wingovers were a bit hard on your G-tolerance mate :p
Too right. I won’t tolerate anything below 5G. :p

I was simply passing out.
By: Jorgo - 7th February 2007 at 16:12
Even worse – we’re passing 180 degrees out !!

Now that’s what I call close formation……:D

I’m not sure whether Jorgo was excited, scared or just mental. Suffice to say, whatever emotion it was, it was only half of what I was experiencing.

I was flying Janie, and expected to meet you. What happened? :p

I was at Connington on Thurs (2 days ago). Sorry I missed you. There is an extremely good chance you will see me and/or the Chip quite often as I find the fuel pumps rather alluring.
It was an utterly gorgeous day for flying today. Anyone who has an aeroplane and wasn’t flying needs to be in a straight jacket.

Wow! I didn’t notice this thread expanding. I’d never even done a Google search on my own reg. And I thought I had slipped into Dunkeswell completely unnoticed last year! :rolleyes:
If anyone fancies a challenge, I’m out and about in the old girl tomorrow, but I cannot decide where to go. If anyone can come up with a good, practical suggestion before 8.45am tomorrow, I’ll get down there.
It’s a bit of a tall order, but what the hey!
Too late this time, but Old Buckenham is always nice. Last time there was a bright sunny day, as it is in Norfolk today, they had 50+ visitors. If you’re there at the same time as me, whenever that may be, I’ll even buy you a coffee! Yes – I know, my generosity exceeds my beauty! Maybe meet Moggy there as well, although his steed is grounded presently.

Sorry I didn’t see this last night, but I didn’t see you at Conington today so you must have picked somewhere else if you managed to de-ice in time!

There are lots of good photos of it on Google, obviously a popular machine!
Popular pilot…………….?

Google the Chip’s reg for a great photo 🙂

My other half was dragged along to one 😮 – not super impressed because of the weather and lack of things to look at.:rolleyes:
The 11th is the Sunday…
Hope to see you there.

I did mention it to my wife, she got excited that I had suggested a Valentine’s day out, less so when I explained what it was.;)
I will certainly try and pop in, it’ll be good to meet up with some forumites!
I had it in my head that it was the 12th, so will check the calendar tonight and make sure that Senior Management hasn’t booked me elsewhere.

Will you be at Conington on the 11th?
I only ask as the VAC will be there and I’ll be arm waving (all being well) and it’d be nice to say hello.
