Hello from Wiltshire

Post by Phantomrider » Mon Aug 08, 2016 9:27 pm

Hi,

I'm new to FC so I thought it was time to say hello from sunny Wiltshire!

Being just North of Andover means I am within easy reach of DM, VP, VA , DY and VN. ( Boscombe Down, Middle Wallop, Fairford, Yeovilton and Brize Norton)

Ideally on here to get info about what's around, what's due, open days, base visits, tours and the like, plus I am always happy to let you know if I see anything in the local skies.

Welcome from a fellow Wiltshire bloke! I'm up in Chippenham, heading down to Imber tomorrow!

Enjoy the forum, most of us are friendly!

Not far from most of the bases you mentioned.

Sunny ????? I've managed to see just three military this month from Melksham (and missed a couple of others through being out). The clouds have been in the wrong place all the time.

MRTT is about 6-7 miles NE of me - we are both under the military routing TR1 (Lands End > Yeovilton > Brize Norton > Marham > waypoint NAVPI).

Anyway, you will find a vast amount of knowledge on here, which I hope you will enjoy.

Have fun!! :)

I'm down your neck of the woods today - going to lunch with friends at the "Poplar Farm" at Little Ann. Lovely pub and wonderful food. :thumb:

Won't be able to visit MW, though. :(
