Chipmunk Fly-In : Coventry April 27th : POSTPONED
|
|
|
|
|
Sunday April 27th will see the first public appearance of Air Atlantique Classic Flights dhc Chipmunk G-APLO in her new black colour scheme. To mark this occasion we are inviting Chipmunk owners to bring along their trusty steeds to Baginton (Coventry) airport for a bit of a mini Chipmunk gathering. There will be a Classic Flight Open Day going on and a DC3 will be pleasure flying. We are offering free landing fees, a free bacon roll (or equivalent) and free hot drinks to any Chipmunk and crew arriving on the day, although we ask if you could register your intentions first please so that we know how many aircraft to cater for. If this sounds good then please e-mail me at davidharmsworth(at)hotmail.com - replacing (at) with @ or PM me.

I would love to attend that but I'm busy. I always wanted a Chipmunk ever since I flew in one 24 years ago as an air cadet. Unfortunately,ex wives, courts and the CSA get in the way. Maybe one day I will own one or fly in one again. Maybe if they do another event like this I will try to get along and have a look. Is it possible to drive over and watch?

Absolutley Dave. There will be an Open Day on the same day and admission will be £10. Classic Flight hope to have their Chipmunk G-APLO on their AOC in the future as a passenger carrying aeroplane so flights will be available in her. There are also quite a few training operations offering trial flying lessons about as well. Currently there are 6 potential Chipmunks attending, hoping for more. Hope to see you there,
Dave

I have come to the decision today that the Chipmunk Fly-In planned for Coventry this Sunday on April 27th should be postponed until May 18th due to a number of reasons. Firstly, the airfield has asked that aircraft should arrive after 1330 and depart before 1630 due to the increased level of traffic caused by a sporting event locally. I consider this to be rather restrictive and certainly not the desired times that have been suggested by those people booking PPR. Secondly, due to the recent arrival of 3 engines for our Dragon Rapides (which are revenue earning aircraft and thus taking priority over the Chipmunk) the aircraft will not be able to fly on Sunday. Thirdly, the grass parking area that we would be using is currently very wet and there is more rain forecast for Sunday and finally several of the aircraft that were hoping to attend have reported in tech, the change of date may make it possible for them to attend.
I hope this has not caused to much inconvience. I figured it was better to take the decision now rather than leave it any later.
I hope to see as many of you as possible on the 18th.
All the best,
Dave
