Due to an
oversight ( or forgetfulness) by our Cultural Attaché from the Industrial Heartland's of England, he forgot to mention at Monday’s Business meeting that
there is an ‘open day’ at Fishburn International Airport on May Bank Holiday Monday (6th May). We
have been unofficially invited to show up on old bikes and cars (The Skip is an
obvious exception).
It’s a very
informal affair according to o.C.A.f.t.I.H.o.E. If I understood him correctly
(it’s very hard to do with a Brummie accent) it’s on from ‘late morning or
lunchtime’ until ‘teatime’ ish.
It will be kind
of weather dependent as, if it’s horrible weather, the planes won’t turn up.
I’ll trundle down so hope to see you there.
Fishburn
International Airport (callsign FIAX) can be found at Garmondsway, Bishop
Middleham DL17 9DY.
Sounds good to
me,
P.S Interesting
facts about FIAX – it was opened on 30 June 1995 by the then local MP and
Leader of the Opposition Tony Blair. It was named as "Airfield of the
year" by aviation magazine Flyer in 2004 for its welcoming atmosphere and
bacon butties. What more can you say…..
