Longleat Sky Safari 2020 Cancelled

[mrbluesky]

Add Longleat to the list- that's it for 2020, but on a brighter note only 162 shopping days till Christmas.  Thanks to ZZ on AFA for the info.

Happy Days

Only surprised that the news was so long in being confirmed,can only hope that 2021 is a whole lot better.

Certainly hope so Dave, surely cannot get any worse than this year-can it- Longleat was going to be my last trip out for the year, but like everything else, it has fallen foul of Covid-19. 

On a brighter note, I'm 70 next year and my beloved wants me to hang my work boots up- so may well take her up on her offer. Up the Toffees.

Hi

Your information source is not quite correct. The event is going ahead, albeit in a slightly changed format.
The event will not have free flying. However there will be a night glow on the Friday & Saturday evenings, this will be in the format of a drive in event.
Tethering will be happening during the day. 
Information has been distributed to Pilots who’ve registered and I’m waiting to hear from ours further news to whether we’ll be attending.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks Dave- and Thanks Dave for clearing up the confusion- only saw that it was cancelled- no other details re tethering etc. However will more than likely still give it a miss, due to the longish journey down there from Cheshire. Also a overnighter in a hotel, and the possibility of rain!!! Think I'll pencil it in for 2021.

Thanks for the update.

Bob
