Sherlowe (Shropshire) - July

[David Phillips]

Some of you will know that i used to be based at a farm strip in Shropshire flying Tommy Reid's old 172. Every year the strip has a fly-in to support the owner's charity - Hope House. This year's fly-in will be either the first or second weekend in July. I would propose to try and take one club aircraft and anything else we can muster! We would probably have to 'slum it' with a couple of tents or so but there is a pub within walking distance. Flight time, in a 172 would be about 1:30 each way.

I'll happily organise everything but for now would like to gauge the level of interest. Plus points would be a cross-channel check for those that need it and some grass strip experience. There are also a number of airfields within spitting distance of Sherlowe where we could gain more experience of UK flying. the picture below will give you some idea of the strip at Sherlowe.

How about do Goodwood that weekend also 2-4th July. See all cars and rich people then fly back to Sherlowe for BBQ. Any takers :

Ray, I'm up for any trip to the mainland. I suppose I could slum it in a Pup if you had a spare seat.
