Always fun on Tarmac !   I'm  In

Help required for the following;         Not long now folks
Need GDMAS club member for the gate.
Need help on flightline occasionally
Need help on TX control (35mhz) unless you all use the peg off system like at Osbournby
The idea is to have pilots briefing at 09.45. Main gate on the B6403 open from 08.30hrs, please try to arrive between 08.30---09.30 as the gate afterwards will then be closed. Any stranglers will have to ring my mobile. Please remember you have to SIGN IN and OUT when you leave.  Cheers Richard.

Do we know when the decision will be made as to which day the event will be held on?
 

Hi Rich,

I'll have to bell you to check which day - I'm away from interweb connections for a few days

Hope everyone has a great Christmas & you all get the toys that you want

TTFN,
Neil

Currently I am intending to run the event with the first day  27TH,  but want to look at the weather forcast nearer Xmas.
Cheers Richard.

hi richard
 can i bring an helper with me. hope its on the 27th
 thanks
 martin
 or try ing to get the 29th off work 

Hope it's 27th as can't make the 29th.........

Phil

I hope its the 27th aswell. cant do the 29th now  coz i gotta meet a customer in the morning.

Bonzey

I hope its the 27th as well. After all I can't imagine that the owner of this 5 cylinder Moki radial will be wanting to wait another two days before I deliver it to them   

I hope its the 27th as well.

Hi folk's,
I am 99% that the event will run on the 27th looking at the weather. Looks good so far . Please keep your eye on here though. I now have a gateman, so please try to be on time,   08.30 till 09.30 as this will help enormously during the signing in process.
Merry Xmas to you all.
Richard.

Hi Richard,

I'll have a helper (Geoff) with me if thats ok
cheers
Linds

No worries, as long as I can have a go with my Corsair Do you want to sell it?
I will pay you  a profit lol.
Merry xmas Richard.

the 27th does look like good weather doesn't it.... Just need to organise my visitors now...

What planes are people bringing? Heard mention of a mayhem session?

You have good hearing there Mr Sheep.  I will bring one for a short blast as is Fokker 

Merry Christmas to everyone, and Humbug to the rest of ya!   

Nigel

Hope the Brussel effect will have worn off by 27Th 

I'll probably drag my mum and dad along as 'helpers' in the loosest sense if thats ok?

Looking forward to it, it will be my first flyin

Mayhem is as many fast models that can be got up at the same time usually fast deltas gremlins tigersharks funfighters etc. Someone calls the moves and you all go for it . The attrition rate has been known to be pretty high with the odd mid air or folks flying into overhead wires

If you hit any wires there, we have a serious problem
I don't have a gremlin anymore, it went to a loan shark  and got bust

I don't have a gremlin anymore, it went to a loan shark  and got bust

I see what you did there 

Merry Christmas one and all 

So is it Tuesday or Thursday? and can someone give a post code please.

Also can someone confirm if it is the main entrance (same as BMFA Nationals) will it be signposted / coned to get to the correct area? (Its a large place)

Siddus74

The entrance is on the  B6406.  If you go to google maps and search "Barkston Heath" It will put a Pushpin at the main entrance on the satellite view for you. 

There are no cones as the NATS, just a gate and a pair of barriers.

Right, off to my Sisters now to eat and drink too much 

Nigel

Nice one Nigel ... lets hope for good weather ...

Scott.

Hi folks,
YES ITS ON TOMORROW, CORRECT ROAD IS B6403, NEAREST POSTCODE IS  NG32 3QD (which is across the road from entrance) Gate entrance is not BMFA gate, its the one with security kiosk.
Looking forward to seeing you all. Weather looking good but breezy.
Richard.

Enjoy yourselfs people.

Sadly I could only make the 29th. 

Lots of pictures please.

Kev

Richard, I can see 3 entrances ... it look the like the southerly most entrance is that correct?

Scott. (Siddus74)

thanks for letting us know richard. see you all tomorrow. mart

Richard, I can see 3 entrances ... it look the like the southerly most entrance is that correct?

Scott. (Siddus74)

Put 'Barkston Heath' into google maps and it's the entrance with the red 'A' tag next to it, the middle entrance I believe. You can see a security gate there.

I said that     Though my memory for the road number was sadly lacking   

Scott you will see the entrance fairly easily  I am sure.  Arriving in the prescribed time window you will see a few cars queueing at the barrier to sign in 

Panic ye not.

Nigel

See you all tomoz, looking forward to meeting you all  .. I have a helper, I hope thats ok ...
