Hello! At this point, it's getting difficult to find new ways to start these posts 😅 I digress, let's get back on track. This week's Friday Night Fly-In will take place once again at Kemble. Brize Approach will also be open for all your LARS needs, or even come and try the RNP approach in your favourite jet!

• Aerodromes: Kemble (EGBP), Brize Norton (EGVN)
• Date and Time: 5th August 1800-2000z (or later)
• Staffed positions: Kemble Information (EGBP_I_TWR), Brize Approach (EGVN_APP)
• Requests or Extra Info: As mentioned, anyone is welcome to staff up adjacent units!
  • Adjacent ATSUs are Gloucester Approach, Bristol/Cardiff Radar, and Farnborough Radar
  • London Information is welcome as always!
  • The MSM crew will be opening Birmingham on Friday evening at a similar time while they set up ready for their big weekend, so Birmingham (EGBB) or even Coventry (EGBE) to Kemble (EGBP) could be a good route for those flying!
