135.475 and unless the wind gets even stronger than is currently forecast,
we will be using runway 11/29, which requires circuits to the north at 1000ft.
Our elevation is 40ft. Sticking to 11/29 will allow us to use runway 03/21
for parking if we fill up our parking areas, as has happened a couple of times
in the past.

(there is no landing fee). All profits will go to the Kent Air Ambulance and
in the past we have managed to donate reasonable sums from 200 to nearly 500
depending on the turnout, which is obviously affected by the weather but on
occasions
has brought us 30 plus Europa's. So here's hoping for another good one.
