Hi everyone,

Im currently taking 2 planes over to Le Mans and trying to fill a 3rd plane.

Intention is to fly the 3rd one to get to Le mans on the saturday at 2pm local time and return on the sunday but as the plane isnt full thats up to the pax. The other two planes im taking are arriving Saturday at 2.05 and 2.10 local and leaving for jersey after the race and returning on Monday.

If anyone wants to go by air its a cost share basis as planes arnt cheap. Initaly departing from the midlands area but could pic people up on route if they pay for an equal share.

Oh forgot to add, the planes are currently all twin engine aircraft (5/6 seaters). Looking around 2-3 hours flight time, depending on the routing for the 3rd plane.

The first two are routing into Jersey first and then a quick 40 min flight to Le Mans.

Ive got confermation of the landing slots from Le Mans so should be on the ground 2 hours before the race.

Its a good job I dont drink like the chaps im taking otherwise it would take a week to soberup to get back

Thanks PetrolTed, graham has emailed me.

If there isnt enough people for the 3rd twin ie only 3 then the other pilot said he will hire a single engine 4 seater to take over.

So anyone intrested get in touch so I know the figures.

And everyone thats there drink loads for me, ill be sober :-(

Maybe my only hope now and even that might not work out due to the timing of the shows.

Well if the planes ends up being a single as one other person has showed some intrest, then I expect picking you and you mate at sywell should be possible if its in the single. Give me a bell and I can see what times are you need to be back by and ill get the wizz wheel out and see how long it would take.

Hi

are you still looking to fill a place in the plane?

Please let me know as desperate to get over there. My Dad is also staying at the Airport so would be perfect!

Cheers

Cost depend on number of people in plane and what plane we end up with for this 3rd plane, with the number that have now shown intrest I may need to arrange a 4th plane as well (Amazing 3 months ago didnt think id fill one) Ill send you and email with approx costs.

Ahh,Boredpilot. That would be from Nottingham would it not.

I'd rather push an old Triumph all the way than fly with your looney passengers.

See you there!

Hi helioxdiver (Hans), not sure if you will catch this, trying to find out if you are still intrested in flying over. Tried your number but no joy yet on reaching you.

Are you still looking for bodies?... If so, when and where are you flying from.

I've just had to blow my mates out (travelling by ferry tomorrow morning) due to commitments on Thursday, but could probably go Friday pm / Saturday am.

I'd be more than just a little bit interested in the score, especially as the girlfriend went to Crete today on account of my trip to LM.... bummer!
