Hi Fellas, just a quick one,the JP5 from Carlisle has booked to visit Kirkbride on Sunday 9th December at 1300 local.He will use callsign "Viper" on K/B freq.If anyone fancies a few shots you are welcome.
He will probably do a couple of run and breaks first,see you there,JP.

I think it is Alan Mattinson. If its the guy im thinking of his name is Alan Pattinson he is Instructor at the Carlisle Airport Flying schools. Their are apparently 5 Pilots in the JP Group at the moment. |

Hi guys, yes it is Alan Pattinson but the chief whip is a guy called John Hurrel who flys the Hunter out of Exeter and is also a Hawk instuctor/test pilot from Warton.
I am not sure if he is going to get here yet but I also hope to have G-BVEZ from Newcastle as well,He is hoping to to arrive a.m.This of course is all weather dependant
take care !

I see on a well known classified adds site that Peter Metcalf is selling his Pitts G-BIRD.20K if your a rich pilot.Looks like he'l not be using that aircraft at this years Fly-IN.

Had a run upto Kirkbride today with Mike and had a chat with John, it would seem that Pete Metcalfe is still planning to come although maybe not in G-BIRD but another Pitts. Still three jets coming and although there might not be a Spitfire we hope to have a WWII era aircraft with us as long as the costs are reasonable. Also should have a Soko Kraguj with us on the day, it was the Yugoslavian ground attack aircraft and there are only 2 or 3 in the UK.    |

Ahhh yes the Soko Kraguj.Met this guy at a Fly-In over the north east last year.Nice chap.I took a video with my digital camera(Not Camcorder) of it starting up and taking off, awesome sound. Have a look www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqEam-duvAI |
