Hello Folks,

I am looking to find someone with a plane who might be interested in flying to the UK.

The event in the UK is the Didmarton Bluegrass Festival, which is held at Kemble Airfield in the Cotswolds. This starts on Thursday 30th August and goes on for the weekend.

When I was looking at the festival website directions page, it states that use of the airfield is welcomed.

So if you have a plane and fancy an excuse to fly to the UK please get in touch, so we can discuss feasability etc.

Thanks for reading,
Aran

Can you give some more details, how many will be travelling, when you want to go / return? Where in Ireland you want to depart from?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply.

As far as a departure point goes, I am very flexible, just somewhere in Ireland but I am based in Dublin.

Destination is the Cotswold Airport http://www.cotswoldairport.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The ideal itinerary would be to depart on Friday 31st August and return Sunday 2nd September.

Numbers for the trip would be dependent on the capacity of the aircraft but I already have at least 4 people who are interested. I guess that with a few people the fuel and landing fee costs can be spread.

I have looked into this a bit further and a Cessna 172 makes sense with one pilot (possibly you) and 3 passengers.... We will off course be bringing a mandolin, banjo and possibly a guitar...

Shouldn't be problem.....now if you were bringing a Cello, a Grand Piano and a Tuba, issues might arise!

Hi Folks,

Hope you don't mind but as we are fast approaching the date, I thought I had better bump this topic in case anyone might be interested in a trip over to Cotswolds airport, weekend after next.

I would be very happy to pop over Saturday and come back Sunday but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks for reading,
Aran

Oh one last thing the numbers have changed so it would most likely just me and a mandolin with possibly one other person and a guitar.

Thanks again.
