  • Stratford-upon-Avon Flyers

    It's that time of year again when my companies annual weekend bash is coming up (weekend 6/7 March) and this year it's in Stratford-upon-Avon. The general format is turn up on Friday afternoon/evening, business meetings on Saturday and Sunday mornings and go home Monday after a big night out on Sunday.

    My Mrs and kids won't be coming along as it's pretty dull for them as all we do is talk about work, and when we have evening time in the bar etc, I'm expected to mingle and look after people from the company, because I work for the head office and have a company credit card!

    This leaves me with Saturday and Sunday afternoons with time to kill, so are there any clubs/forum users nearby where I could come for a fly as a guest? I've got plenty of room in my car for a heli or two.

    Two years ago we had it in Stratford also, and it was the weekend of the Compass fly-in up at Nuneaton which was about 45 minutes drive away on the Saturday afternoon and was a decent afternoon out.

    Last year, we had this bash in Harrogate and I went flying with busterboy's crew, and a great pleasure it was too.

    Your welcome to pop over to Himbleton Helis, as per my sig, although you'll probably have to park & walk if you're not in a 4x4 We're in Droitwich, about 18 miles from Stratford and generally we're fairly busy on a Sunday after 10:00am, plus a few hardy sould on Saturday afternoons. If interested PM me and I'll give you my mobile number.

      You may be able to contact the chairman of the Alcester Model Helicopter club via our website and ask him if its ok to come down as a guest.

      We are no more than 10 miles away from Stratford and tend to fly Saturdays mainly depending on the weather.

      We have hard standing as can be seen from the video on the site so no problems with access.
      Thats me with the T Rex 600 Flybarless.

            Thanks to Malc1 (yesterday) and SRH990 (today) for allowing me to fly with them at their respective fields. It made and otherwise dull working weekend much more pleasurable.

            Cheers.
