Re: UK Commander Get together

What agreat day! thoroughly enjoyed it, was able to put a face to all the names we see on the forum, everyone was younger than I imagined, perhaps it's because I'm so old.
Let's hope this is one of many

Re: UK Commander Get together

Dear John and offcourse your best half :-)

thanks for your initiative and all your efforts for organising todays event. It was a very impressive turn up even though the weather initially was not very good.

We all got a chance to speak to one another and I certainly had some interesting talks.. I believe everybody had. If anything I did not get to speak to everyone and offcourse it takes a bit to know who is who and what Commander he or she flies and what interesting story is behind that.

You should be very proud of yourselves. We definitely enjoyed it and Kemble offcourse has some very interesting things going on .. like aerobatics, jetfighter and even something that looked like the modern version of the first aircraft... :)

I hope that next meeting will be a meeting where we will so also more nationallities and maybe a setting were one can enjoy a bear or a glass of wine.

Having said that .. I would propose that we set about organising the next European Commander meeting somewhere central (probably France) so that the germans, french, spanish, scandinavian etc etc Commanders all join in. We could let it coinside with for example a wine or champagne tasting and make it an overnight stop.

Once again ... many thanks.

Willem
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

Nice pictures Lawrence. I'm glad to see you had such a good turnout.
 
Well done! Really great so see all of you enjoying each other and your rides. Hope it will be the first of many.
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

Great day - well done John. I got some reasonable pics from the tower. Will post in my gallery soon. It was really good to meet up with all the familiar names.
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

Flight back was fine this morning -pretty cold start though. Quite a contrast to the sleet and snow up here and then the rain and poor vis at Kemble yesterday. The Water Park Hotel was a good recommendation. I got some excellent dawn photos.
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

Well done John and Jackie,
Where and when is the next one somewhere in France
You organised it very well so take the lead for the next one, and we will follow you
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

John, thanks for organising the get together. A great day out, and great to meet everybody. The weather improved nicely, and Kemble was pretty busy. Nice to see one of the Hunter jets in action.

A meeting more in central Europe next time is a superb idea.

Iceman :cool:

I added a handful of pics at the end of my photo gallery - an add-on to Lawrence's collection

Re: UK Commander Get together

.. and a big thanks from Nigel and I (N115MD). It was great to put a few faces to names and generally talk all things Commander.

Next time, I'll hopefully have both knees working and will be able to bring G-KEEF along!

cheers

Keith
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

special commendation to you Keith for managing along !

but I'm sure EASA will be introducing wheel chair access to all light aircraft in the near future
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

Well all had a great day, I am so please that everyone enjoyed it.
I had a nice email from Kemble today thanking all of us for making the effort to visit even though the weather was not perfect.

Keith,
I hope the knee is better soon as G-KEEF must be feeling very lonely.

Rob,
Great pictures I would like to get the group shot from above enlarged and framed if that's OK.
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

Mark,
I was really pleased to meet you, and all the other owners came along.
I really cant get over the number that got there on the day.

Very impressive photos of all the Commanders in attendance. I notice that, like our US fly-ins, you folks over there can't get the airplanes parked in straight or parallel lines either. :D
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

I was parked straight, I was first there so everyone else must have been wrong;).
 
Re: UK Commander Get together

John,
Let me tidy up that pic and I'll print it A3. I'm off to Denmark for a few days tomorrow so I'll try to get it done next week...
