AYA Fly In  No. 4 26 June Southend  EGMC / UK

A lunch in the airfield's Clubhouse with the option for a weekend at the seaside

Chris O'Connell wrote to Jörg: "I can supply logistical support (cars) and I will look into the hotels and restaurant. Parking on the apron. The  flying club(s) would be glad to see us but their parking is very restricted. Southend has very good facilities with a 1.605m runway 06 24 with an ILS 24".
