Fairford Tour 2008
Hi people, So, finally it's all settled. There are two options for thos who want to join our Fairford Tour: Option 1 - Lm 470 - 8th-14th July Option 2 - Lm 420 - 10th - 14th July Option 1 offers the full experience of Fairford, catching all the airshow-related movements (including all arrivals and departures), as well as a day's spotting at Heathrow. Option 2 is intended for those who have less time on their hands, and includes the last day of Fairford arrivals, the airshow itself and the departures. In both cases, the price includes: Air Malta flights (at current published prices) Coach transfers daily Accomodation at the Express Holiday Inn Buffet Breakfast VIP tickets for Fairford, including grandstand seats Air Malta has just dropped the prices by Lm 50 at the moment, so if you're sure you can make it (Remember that the Vulcan should be there) send me an email a.s.a.p. on freelanceaviation@gmail.com to reserve your place. We cannot guarantee the same price for everyone - if Air Malta increases the price, we will be forced to adjust accordingly! You will only require a deposit of Lm 100 to reserve your seat and block the air ticket at the current price.

Gentlemen, For those who, for various reasons, would not make it for this year's trip to Fairford. I know very well that you would all love to be there, especially now that the VULCAN is confirmed to be flying there, if all goes well. So, I put on my thinking cap and would like to offer you the following solution: 11th July (Friday) 05:15 check-in at airport 07:15 departure by flight KM100 to London Heathrow 09:45 arrival at London Heathrow 10:30 taxi transfer to Fairford or hotel (if plane is delayed) 12:00 entry at Fairford Park & View 18:00 transfer to hotel 12th July - full day at Fairford 13th July - full day at Fairford 14th July - departures Fairford 15:00 transfer to Heathrow 21:00 deprture with flight KM 103 back to Malta. I can only offer two places with this method, as we have hired a car and it has 8 seats! The price should work out at Eur 820 (Lm 352) If two people confirm, the airport transfer cost is divided between two, so the price would then be Eur 790 per person instead. Price includes: Flights, taxes and surcharge Accomodation All transfers Entry at Fairford on Saturday Sunday and Monday (not grandstand I'm afraid :( ) If you are interested, let me know at your earliest! Very best Regards, Mark

Hi guys from sunny Fairford. Yes the airshow has been cancelled over the weekend, but we will be allowed in for the departures on Monday. Today we did an improvised visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, where amongst others we got up close and personal with a Phantom and Concorde. Well, we'll see for tomorrow! Cheers, Mark
