Hi Dothers
Just in case anyone is coming to North Weald this weekend, here are the
details. We will be staying sat at the Travelodge if anyone wants to
meet up.
Alan & Kate
17/18th June the North Weald fly in.
This year=92s event is linked in with the Air Britain event so it is
likely to be a busy day. You will need a slot. It would be helpful to
call beforehand -Alan Couchman at the Squadron 44(0)1992 524 510 to
advise ETA which will help in assessing numbers. Also it is, by chance,
the Queens birthday so the RAF team has put together a rather LARGE fly
past which will over fly North Weald at 12.55pm. en route to Buckingham
Palace. If you want to see it rather than an official from the CAA I
suggest you get on the ground by that time or arrive later.
Camping is available and basic facilities will be available the whole
weekend. As there is likely to be quite a crowd with the Commanche
society and the Navion society present I am not sure what the food
availability will be in the evening .
If you want to be a little more comfortable then accommodation is
available as follows. Can=92t say which is best as we haven=92t stayed
at
any.
1. the Travelodge http:www.travelodge.co.uk at North Weald,
2. Pergola Lodge Guest House houses in Epping, about 4 miles (6kms)
away; http:www.stayinepping.co.uk, only a small place but Maz Bradwood,
the owner is happy to give a =A35 reduction for us pilots.
3. Brooklands, no web site but also in Epping tel: 44(0)1992 575 424
Pooleys unfortunately does not confirm circuit height which is 800=92 on
QFE and about 1150=92 on QNH. The field is underneath the Stansted TMA
which starts at 1,500=92 so it would be good to get below that level
well
beforehand. >From the North you need to be descending to 1500=92 on the
QNH before Ware and then under the Stansted approach path at below that
level.
