I hope to be going there – I know the way now!
Hope to see you there
working :(
Pleased to support Calais. Will be arriving from Kemble EGBP.
I will probably be there.
Regret cant make it, plane on check.
I should be able to make it.
Sadly the weather looks pretty bad, unless one picks the time slots carefully and with a bit of luck.

At LFQQ, and at EBOS too: some fog/mist in the morning, and wind and showers in late afternoon. Not too bad I should think? But I will certainly check again before departing, and do it all early enough. And it does look less good for those crossing the Channel.

I am getting the plane out for 9am anyway…
I have a new hangar space now, where I have the ability to move it out and in at the weekends (previously it would have to stay out Fri-Mon if I wanted w/e access). The old company (a TBM/KA maintenance outfit) has shut and moved elsewhere.
Calais has an ILS anyway
