I am going tomorrow… anyone interested in meeting up? ETA 1000 UTC.
I’d have loved too given a bit more notice!
Flew into Paris wit Noe last weekend and now have a thirst for a lot more of France!
Stapleford Flyout to Le Touquet LFAT tomorrow. Wish I was going! Hope everyone has a great day.
I’m going tonight to have diner
Despite the great wx, it wasn’t too busy, being a weekday
There was a sizeable group from Stapleford, presumably from a school since a few instructors were apparently present.
Hake fish – delicious 
They built a number of what looks like cafes on the beach – didn’t check any closely though or whether anything is edible, or just drinks
FL070 on the way back
A great trip for us as always. I really don’t understand why so many UK pilots do the bacon butty or engine-oil-dripping £2 all day breakfast run to the greasy airport cafes in the UK… The only extra work is the flight plan and the GAR form, and in theory the email (copy of the GAR) to LFAT Customs.
Landing fee €30.
The new engine is running great. Oil consumption has dropped from 1 quart in 2hrs to 1qt in 3hrs to 1qt in 5hrs, over the three 2hr flights, and it is doing 2kt more than the previous one at the usual low level power settings.
Hi Peter
Don’t have picture but landed in Le Touquet around 8pm.
Took a taxi into Town it was quite cold when we arrive.
We had diner at “l’éphémère” witch is quite good i’ve been there a few times and never get desapointed.
See you next time
Romain

You must not be nice to them ;) I paid 20 Euros with a DA42 yesterday.
Such a practice has been alleged before but when I phoned them they denied it.
Perhaps somebody should phone them in French and ask what they charge for a 1400kg TB20?
I called in french and they said 30 Euros (also for DA42). I just probably got a 10 euro discount for my pretty eyes.
