Topic: Langar Warbirds 22nd august

Thinking of going. Problem is, I don't have many warbirds, not really special ones. Seems to be a gap in my collection...
Got things like a Dynaflite Spit, small Seagull spit, a Royal FW190, which hasn't flown for a while. Flown my Aerotec Stuka before. Seems most of my models are sport, or civilian scale.
Just wondering if the day is only limited to warbirds, or dependant on the flying program...

Got a YT 120 Spit to finish off and a 120 Hellcat. Won't get  finished, but maybe next year.

sorry paul warbirds only dude,, but dont worry about only having a small one  (warbird)..big or small planes all welcome...

hope to see you there ..

cheers woody

bugger- you beat me to it!

Woody has kindly made sure we wont have an insect problem on the day by offering to smear his 'queen wasp' tigercat in sticky glow fuel and place it in an adjacent field to attract all the insects  
I've attached a picture of it stood next to pylons standard tigercat to show you how bright it REALLY is

If you've never been to langar your in for a nice surprise we've got plenty of space a BIG runway and a brilliant atmosphere with free camping for those who need it.
We would be grateful if you could let us know how many of your group are coming and rough types of models as we will be setting the slots up this week and like to have a good idea on numbers so everbody gets plenty of flying in.

chris

Thanks to everyone at the Langar club who helped me shake down my big Trojan.
Really good bunch of people, a big flying area and great facilities.

I have a feeling that this event is going to be very popular! Lets hope that the Weather will help make it even better 

Thanks chris, glad you like langarmac , good test flight today with t-28..

look forward to see you next week flying with blackhorse and 'russ the chimp'

just remember they both dont no there lefts and rights so becarefull out there..

woody

Been to langar today and spoke with farmer about his crop of wheat...

during the summer months the club police a  no turbine model flying ban due to the possability
of one crashing in the crops and torching the lot ,,and possably loseing us langar airfield..

At the moment what with the rainfall of last week the crops are too wet to cut and harvest..
He is still hoping to do before weekend but its looking 50/50 at the moment..

The chairman bobt ,or myself will keep you all informed during this week with a final deceison near the end of the week... for jets to fly at langar warbirds..

woody

Looking forward to flying t28 with chimp & chris . Is it left into the airfield coming from Biingham?.

looks like a great event....

is it normally over subscribed... like norfolk there may be a risk i would have to drop out nearer the date so don't want to block out someone who would definately be able to go...

Hi there, thought so, I need to drop out to family "arrangements". Hope that is not a problem. 

Guys,

LANGAR CROP UPDATE !

Peersy and myself have been down langarmac to look at the crop.. GOOD NEWS main crop that we fly over has been collected..  down side the crop at bottom of runway and big crop  behind pilots box not been cut yet..

however when  coming away fom langar tonight . the farmers machines looked like there workng all night with lights up and running on all the machines in the fields behind langar.. maybe ours tommorrow..

woody

I am hanging on looking for updates on the crop situation with baited breath, but then I suddenly thought..
 Am I too late to book in for Sunday ( If Jet flying is allowed)
 Regards Al

Nope not too late to book in Al and hopefully the crops will be cut by sun, If the crops are still there I,m sure your tigercat would look great over runway 
chris

I reckon the farmer would try to cut the whole lot in one go, as it can't be stored too long, if they have to wait for the rest of it. I don't think I can make it, but probably get a load of warbirds for the 2011 warbird meet. I'll see what the Nats can produce.
Will be down in the bonfire do, though.

Good luck for the weekend, maybe pop by.

Thanks Chris, Can I book me and two friends in please ( One flying and one helping)
 Tiger cat may make an appearance, although I have two new toys that need testing first 
 Regards Al

Be nice to see you there Ali. Best promise we can get from the farmer is that he will not work our fields Sunday, so no dust hopefully. It is touch and go with the jet situation. If the weather stays dry,.......

And can you add another Trojan please (to make 3!)

No problem.
Apologies to those it affects, but the wet weather we have had has made it impossible to get the rest of the crops in before the weekend. This means we are unable to cater for turbine powered models at Langar, we have a duty to the club members to ensure the continuing use of our facilities at Langar, and the possibility of a fire caused by a crashed turbine would curtail our flying there. We had hoped to be crop free by now, but the weather has stopped us. Many, many apologies if you were bringing a jet, but it is out of our control. We at least have the assurance that the crops will not be worked on on Sunday, which is good news, as the dust is a problem.Bob. (LMAC Chairman)

Ok thanks for letting me know, and I fully understand.
 Please remove me form the list please. I hope it all goes well for you guys.
 Regards Al

thanks for the well wishes al, sorry that we cant accomadate turbines this time..myself and peersy are gutted about this.... .. however if the weather forecasters are right on metcheck looks like sundays gonna be a good day.      INFO for sunday  pilots briefing 9.45am   flying starts at 10 am..

mr pylon is lending us the barkston slotboard and t cards  (cheers dickie) 

so hopefully loads of flying all day when you want to fly...

woody

I will take a T-28 Trojan to add to the party  . . . . Plus the Spitfire, of course.

OK Al. Next year we will have to tweak the dates a bit.... crops caught us out.

Well I was right about the ex playing up changing kids visit dates + I MUST sort out my rear brakes that gave out on the way back from Mankie land Wednesday so please remove me from the list I cant make it, pretty gutted 

Good news the weather is looking good all day and the winds even playing ball for once  ,we have room for a few more pilots if anyone is intrested but please remember due to the crops NO jets are allowed.
