Yes Emir, but there has already been a Mediterranean meet-up, shouldn’t we aim for some diversity? And there were some UK pilots that wanted to remain closer to their home.
I’d vote for Zell am See in August, but also join the big Greek fly-in at Tatoi in September.
We need IFR, Customs, 100LL, and a scenic location which everybody (that includes the ladies!) likes to hang out in for a few days. There are not many locations in N Europe which deliver that.
Cambridge? Without looking I’m pretty sure they have all of the above and Cambridge itself is a really nice city to visit.
Currently, I am proposing the “scenic” fly-in for 5-8 September, in Corsica (3 nights).
Any consensus on the “central” fly-in?
Unfortunately the 5-8th September is out for me, as missing the event I am already booked in for may trigger a serious case of AIDS (Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome). Hopefully I will be able to make the central one.
from 5 to 7 september a Fly-in will be held at EHTX. Maybe a combination would be an option?

I don’t see anything interesting for non-pilots but maybe I’m wrong. In addition, I tend to avoid grass runways and maybe I’m spoiled but I don’t like to fly across whole Europe without having ability of instrument approach at destination. It doesn’t necesarry have to be ILS, VOR or NDB could also do.
@jkv: but this is the exact time that Peter had suggested for Corsica, ISTR?
@Emir: Well, you are (slightly) less demanding than Peter, then … (grin) But I am told EHTX is the most enjoyable field of all the Netherlands, and indeed one of the few worth of flying into.
I don’t think that choosing a location which has something for everybody is demanding
Each summer, there is any number of fly-ins in Europe where pilots can hang out, look at planes and more planes and even more planes, drink beer and more beer, eat sausages and burgers, and talk about planes
