Still in discussion but our NW London and Herts strut is planning a BBQ at Elstree on the 5 July 2009 and we want to invite you all to it.
Like last year we will have a reduced landing fee ( TBA but maybe £5) and will be running a BBQ.
I will post more here as I get it but we hope to have a few interesting events running at the airfield that day but if nothing else how about popping in for a hamburger and a coke and a chat with other aviation bods.
MICROLIGHTS will be welcome again as last year, so this is an opportunity to get into a airfield that you would not normally be able to get into.
(no flex wing sorry)
As last year,,PPR will be required along with aircraft type.
More information as it comes to hand along with the landing fee confirmation and any other goodies I manage to put together and a email address to PPR to.
Cheers,
Kelvin Denize

Its not my decision. Maybe they will be allowed in the future but at the moment, sorry but thats the rules.
We are trying to mix all different types of aircraft, mainly class A into a airfield with NO circuit. All approach is on a four mile final and going around means a fifteen minute circuit out to the M25 and back. The mix of speeds is very high and we have to add helicopters into the mix.
Elstree circuit is busy, very busy and they have no experiance of microlights. They have no representation and nobody from the microlight community seems to want to get involved to change this at all.
If you think you can offer a solution then please come to the next flyinn set up meeting and help me to demonstrate how they could be mixed safely. The last time I tried to set this up NOBODY from the microlighting community came to help press their case so it was in total left to me with telephone assistance from a microlighting school director who was as helpful as she could be.
I am very happy to invite microlights in and I welcome them but if you want to widen the flyinn a bit and want to get flexwings in then come along and be counted at the next meeting.
I don't fly a microlight, I can never fly a microlight as I am too big but I am doing what I can for your community so do your bit, come to the flyinn introduce yourself to me, leave your contact details and next year join in to the meetings that set this up and become the microlight representative at a table where none are present.

Elstree aerodrome is still having its Flyinn. The aeroclub will be running a BBQ on the day as well as offering refreshments.
The landing fee will be five pounds, this is a very good deal for the local London area GA airports.
The day will be an informal one, to meet friends and to catch up with other LAA members and talk about aircraft. Quite a few of the NW London and Herts strut will be attending and we hope to see other members from the various struts attending.
Turn up, grab a burger and find somebody to chat with. We hope the event will build bridges between different types of aviation and lead to better understanding across our hobby.
PPR is required, please email me on [email protected] with your aircraft type and we look forward to seeing you at Elstree.
London is a very busy aviation enviroment, Please keep a good look out and note that London Colney is also hosting an event on that day.
Kind Regards,
Kelvin Denize

There is a restaurent and the Pooleys shop if you need anything more and there should be lots of other aviators from all walks doing the same as you.

Thanks everybody for attending today, we had almost 40 different types of aircraft turn up and I think all that came had a good time.
We have shown that mixing flex/microlight and Spam Cans does work with a bit of forward planning and thoguht. Its not a easy four mile into Elstree and some of the landings were interesitng but we all had a fantastic fun.
I think I have easily demonstrated that good food, aircraft and lots of folk with lots to talk about is a winning combination. I believe I got around and talked to all of you that made the effort to come, sorry if I missed anybody.
I have made quite few friends on the day, I might not meet them on their microlight fields but I am certain we will meet up at other places where all three types of aviation can mix.
To any airfield that thinks you can't mix all three give me a call, Elstree is about the toughest enviroment possible with the most difficult final to mix these machines on and we managed it.
To all those that came, the airfield is a better place for your attendnace, I look forward to comming to a few BBQ's in other places this summer and meeting you all again there.
Cheers,
Kelvin Denize
