Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 4:40 am Post subject: texel fly-in

I'm posting this on behalf of Tim Houlihan and myself.



Tim plans to attend the Texel fly-in in G-BZTH with me as ballast, 

going Friday and returning Saturday (need to be back for commitments 

on Sunday).



Just wondering if any of the other people from UK are likely to be 

following a similar route to ourselves.



Here's the list of the UK people slated to be arriving at Texel on 

Friday, sorted by departure field.



G-RVDG  Vans RV-9                 David Gill               ZZZZ Bicester

G-BZTH  Europa                    T Houlihan               ZZZZ Defford

G-CEIW  Europa classic            SCANLAN                  EGTU Dunkeswell

G-DDBD  Europa XS Trigear         Brian Davies             EGTD Dunsfold

G-BXDY  EUROPA                    WATTS                         LADDINGFORD

G-ODJG  EUROPA TRI GEAR           CHALLIS                  ZZZZ LADDINGFORD UK

G-JBSP  Jabriru (or maybe Esqual) Clive James                   Ludham

G-IVER  Europa XS Tri gear        Ivor Phillips            EGMD Lydd

G-RVNH  RV9A                      Norman Haines            ZZZZ Malmesbury

G-BXUM  Europa                    Dave Bosomworth          EGHP Popham

G-RVIO  Vans RV10                 Hopkinson                EGBT Turweston

G-CHOX  EUROPA XS TRI-GEAR        GOFF MOORE & IAN SWANKIE EGLM WHITE WALTHAM



(I imported to FileMaker Pro the Excel file sent out by the Texel 

organisers so I could play with it more easily.)



Any of those folk want to form a gaggle (I won't say formation!) for 

part of the trip such as the channel crossing?



We are still thinking about exact route and timing and I guess are 

open to suggestions. Timing - neither of us want to get up at an 

unearthly hour so we won't be leaving Croft Farm very early, but we 

want to arrive at Texel in time for dinner! Route - I think a shorter 

sea crossing appeals more than the one via KONAN offered in the PLOG 

from the organisers, then more or less follow the coast.



regards

My wife and I will also attend the fly-in at Texel, from friday to sunday.

Our Europa is currently at the paint shop, so we will arrive with a

Cessna 172 TDI with the call-sign PH-VZV.



We will bring photo's of course, and plenty of builder stories, and hope

to meet some of you fellow e-mail listers in person.

And last but not least, we're of course curious to your airplanes.



See you the coming weekend,

Ilona Kooistra & Frans Veldman

Just returned with my wife Ilona from the Texel fly-in.



We both have had a wonderfull time over there. It was nice to see so

many Europa's live (instead of via pictures on the internet) and to talk

with some people I have known before only by name.



Thanks to all participants to make this happen!



If there is enough interest, we will post some pictures of the event.

Thanks to all attending this wonderful flyin. As Frans says, it was a real pleasure meeting all of you, and finally being able to put faces to names! 

And of course, those English local beers went down real nicely while having great fun 



I am sure that I speak on behalf of all that attended, that Tim Weert, Henk Roelofs and many others have organized a great event, and that GA has been put under the spotlight in very positive and safe way.



Congrats to all of us!



I had an absolute GREAT weekend!

Frans - I echo your sentiments. It was great to meet Ilona & you, and 

all the other folk. I've only been to a couple of smaller, more 

informal, events on the continent before and maybe resisted going 

because I want to finish my own Europa rather than cadging rides in 

others' planes.



Tim Houlhan invited me to go with him this time in G-BZTH and I am so 

glad I went. I'm only sorry that my commitments here in Cheltenham 

today dragged us away on Saturday afternoon.

The organisation and work put in by so many was much appreciated.



Everyone was so welcoming - Tim & I were specially impressed with the 

kindness shown to us by Jacqueline Roelofs.

I didn't take as many pictures as maybe I should have but will try to 

sort out a few that might be of general interest.



Where to put them?



It seems the Matronics photo-sharing mechanism is not well-suited to 

multiple uploads as it's a manual operation.



The EuropaOwners Gallery seems to exist mainly for the building 

process; not sure about the etiquette of re-purposing it towards 

fly-in events.

Rowland...I think that's an excellent idea...since we already have a  

"Flying Europa" category, it would seem reasonable enough to add one  

for "Europa Gatherings" or perhaps under a more suitable title. I for  

one would find photos taken at what you call "DOTHs" inspiration to  

press on to completion.

Fred - looking through the "Flying Europas" album again I note that 

there are several sub-albums dedicated to other events and fly-ins. 

So, I've added a sub-album entitled "Texel 2009-09 in G-BZTH" and put 

some of my pictures there. As usual after any trip I can think of 

many pictures that I did _not_ take, so some aspects are not 

represented (and of course we left on Saturday before the BBQ), but 

these may give some of the flavour. Hope you find them appropriate.



regards



Rowland

To anyone who was looking for those pictures, Steve (I assume) has 

made a new top-level album called "Europa Gatherings and DOTHs" and 

my sub-album is now in there.



If you're not sure about how to get to the EuropaOwners Gallery, here 

are the full instructions:



In your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome or 

whatever) enter the following in the URL entry box:



http://www.europaowners.org/index.php



When the page opens, click on the "Gallery" icon at the top.



When the next page opens, click on the top album in the list:



"Europa Gatherings and DOTHs"



You should now see (among others) the sub-album called "Texel 2009-09 

in G-BZTH", so click on that to see a list of photo thumbnails. The 

individual photos can be examined in more detail (2 successive 

levels) by clicking on the thumbnails.



regards
