Me at the contorls. I want to go flying!

Just visited Sherburn In Elmet today and what a superb facility. Really friendly welcome and although we didnt have time for more than a quick coffee the food looked ace. I was right hand seat so had time to enjoy the approach which was from the west and no trouble at all finding the airfield. The whole place seems so well kept and looked after it must be a pleasure to be based there. Will be back very soon. Roy C Blackpool

Wind on the nose!

RVs, Whittman Tailwind and a Europa - just a few of the a/c visiting the regional rally.

Great display by 1 of 2 Bucker BU133's

Rans RV4 and Extra on take off for the display.

Look at the front spat and guess why we didn't fly this one....

'ZO after being pushed back into a parking slot. What a lovely place to visit. Shame all the UKGAers weren't about. David and Darren had gone south for the day and RM not about.

Just about to touch down at Sherburn after the last flight of the day.

Sunday vis - the airfield is between the mine and the factories!

Collective name for Thorp's??

Just wondered if the t shirt and the sunburn were designed to go together!

Departing in the right turn out, runway 06

Few moments after starting taxi for departure

Approaching Sherburn from Sandtoft, (Fuel stop!!)

Flew in from the south on a clear, CAVOK day. The airfield was very easy to find from this direction because of the line of three power stations that "funnels you in". The airfield is very clean, tidy and obviously well maintained, with a superb clubhouse and cafe (top notch bacon butties!). The whole place seemed very professionally run, and the sign outside the office is worth the visit alone!

Highly recommended. BTW don't let all that noise abatement stuff in the flight guides scare you, it's really no problem because all the NIMBY strongholds are clearly visible and easy to avoid... ; )
