Hi Sherlock,

 

Thanks for hosting this event and sound interesting. I might be interested and inquire details of your strip. My Savvy should cope with a 450 metre strip. Cheers Matt

I want the trophy for going through the fence Alf

Hmmm not one I'd be chasing, but then again it is all up to the individual on the day

And really I'm after nothing more than catching up with Tim but this time flying in instead of driving in

 

 

[Guernsey]

Getting in is no problem, that's what the fence is for, it's getting out that's the problem.... it's a way of adding to Flyerme's aircraft collection. .

Valid point Guernsey, but!!!!!!! Jacky boy is not after modern day stuff like ours

He will probably just melt them down and sell the aluminium ingots and EBay the instruments

Scre80, fuel only is "he's Holmes" ha ha and that's elementary my dear boy.

 

Flyerme (Jacky). Thanks for offer for refueling. I plan to leave Penfield (near Sunbury Victoria) soon after first light, Wx 4cast and vis permitting, and reckon its a 3-4 hr trip so into your strip around 11am and overnighting.
