Just thought I'd see if anyone would be interested if I organized a tour for the end of May/Early June..

Ok, now to get a date that suits everyone...   How would Thursday the 24th of May be for everyone?

Sorry doesn't suit me, but don't let it stop the visit for everyone else.

I'm only suggesting dates at the moment so feel free to suggest your own dates, Do you have any date that would suit you in mind?

Just remember that it has to be a week day as the tour is only available on working days and also Fridays tend to be a bad day as everyone tends to be winding down for the weekend and not a lot happens....

How would everyone feel about the 6th of June for another try at getting a date that suits everyone...

sorry for late notice of interest, I'd be very interested if there were any more spots available, just, I cannot commit 100% as yet as I am just (yesterday) out of hospital after heart op & will need to see how next while's recovery goes.

Fantastic set of photos guys. Still stewing that I couldn't make it :( I noticed that the Beechcraft 200 (240) is in the main hangar, is it flying again?
