>The Wiltshire PFA Flyers have three main flying
>events booked for this year (so far). You are
>invited to each of these although there is
>catch, I need your help for two of them.
>
>They are;
>1) Saturday 17th April Air Scout Camp at
>Calcot (3 miles south of Northleach VRP). Alan
>Twigg (WPFAF secretary) and others from the PFA
>have put a lot of effort into this one. The
>scouts will be given ground school and flight
>experience (this is where you come in) in order
>to gain badges. Unlike the 100 hours for Young
>Eagles, pilots need to have a minimum of 250
>hours for this one. We have 36 passengers for a
>30 min flight so we need lots of a/c.
>2) Saturday 12th June Young Eagle event at
>Kemble. I have negotiated a 'once only' 5.00
>landing fee with Kemble management as before.
>There will be 50 -60 youngsters for a 20 min
>flight so again, lots of volunteers required.
>3) Sunday 12th September WPFAF Fly-In at
>Lower Upham (the one that is just East of
>Draycott, not the Southampton one that one poor
>chap went to last year). This is the 'free'
>event (landing, food and drink etc.) where the
>donations cover the base costs and allow a
>sizeable donation to be sent to the Prospect
>Foundation.
>
>There is not much time left before the start of
>this programme so please look at your diary now
>and contact me as soon as possible, I will then
>send full details of the event/s that you can
>make it to.
>For the first two events above it does not
>matter one iota if we have too many pilots and
>aircraft, what would you have done that day
>anyway? Gone to an airfield and talked to other
>flyers? Fine, do it with us. But if we have too
>many youngsters that is a different story, so
>please reply in the affirmative if you can. Your
>aircraft type and call sign would be appreciated
>when you reply.
>Kind regards
>Duds for WPFAF
