My wife teaches at a primary school in Nottinghamshire and is running a topic on transport for November. She’s looking for people to display different forms of transport. I’m taking a works artic in, she is looking ideally for someone either to do a fly past in anything that defies gravity, or better still, someone generous who would be willing to fly a helicopter into school, or perhaps fly or trailer an autogyro in,display a hot air balloon, glider, or powered glider. Anyone know anyone who can help with any of the above, please let me know.

Hi Dangerousdave
Three questions for you,
1) Would a small cockpit be of interest?
2) If so, do you have a date?
3) Agin if so, would you require a million pounds of insurance?
By the way, we only charge in Tea and biscuits!
Ritch and Max.

Just a quick ‘heads-up’ – my offer is still on the table but only this morning I’ve taken two school bookings for November (one from Bulwell and one from Lincolnshire) so I think that I would need to firm up a date quite quickly if the school was interested. 🙂

If you give me an idea of the area I’ll ask on the military forum

If funding is an issue some sessions can be delivered at a more modest fee in school, but they do tend to lose the impact of being amongst and going in the aircraft.
PM me an email address and I can send through some detail / booking form etc.
Is the school definitely in Notts? If it’s in Lincs I might be able to guide you to some funding.

Obviously trips for school require fundraising, coach hire etc. any dates in November would be good as the project runs for the whole of November.

😮 Sorry dangerousedave – I’ve only just seen this (it’s been a busy week – e.g. today I’ve only just got back from Durham).
I handle most of the facilitated school visits to Newark Air Museum, which is currently part of this AHL scheme http://www.ahleducation.org.uk/venues_newark.html
Drop me a PM with some more information (date, school location, year group etc.) and I’ll see what I can do (cannot promise anything flying in though!)

With a location like that how about a day at Newark Air Museum ? I think TwinOtter23 is your man !

Dates would probably help Dave 🙂
