I’m planning Cherbourg Friday 22 June. Alderney has Fly In 50 aircraft expected this weekend.
I am going to Alderney tomorrow (Friday). The big rush would not normally start till the weekend, I would hope
I’ll be joining the rush at Alderney :)
Which day?
Coming Saturday morning; I’m aiming for a 9 am LT arrival, and leaving Sunday afternoon / evening. I booked into a few of their events, but nothing in the evening, and I have some free time still.
Two of us are going just for the day and a walkabout
Just spoke to them on the phone. They are expecting 56 planes tomorrow (Friday)! So it is PPR etc but I got a space.
