HI Dave.
Just acquired an extension to the CAA exemption which takes the pressure off dates etc.
My feeling is it will be possibly next Thursday or around the same time the week after.
Its an aircraft availability / weather thing, in that order.
This time we are 'overnighting' in Calais with both aircraft ready for the flight back the following morning.

Will keep you posted. Thanks for the interest......Mike.

We think early next week, as new air due will get rid of the merk we are in.
I will believe it when i see it.
If its clear a Dover, its clagged in at the home field here in Marlborough and vice versa.
Deep joy.

Now planned for first quater of 2012. Many thanks for all the fantastic support, particularly our committee .
I had no idea that the project would generate so much interest, right from local press to national radio. The break now will give me more time to raise a sum for the RAFBF.
