Hello, seeing as the MAN get together has turned out a great success with quite a few people on the books to turn up i thought id get something else started.
Can anyone get to LHR towards the end of Febuary?
If so, or if you have any suggestions just reply and we can sort something out.......
Kind Regards

I could probably make it if it wasn't from sometime in January to sometime in February, as my only means of transport (my dad) is going back to French Guyana to launch his dumb rocket or satellite or whatever the hell it is.

I still can't confirm the NCL meeting GKIrk. I still don't know if I'm going this year, and I certainly don't know which days I would be at the airport.
You been spotting there before GKirk?
If so, where from and did you take any pics?

I was at LHR last week...so too bad you guys missed me. But I must say the spotters that were there have quite a bit of attitude...

I'd be working at LHR on a friday, but I usually finish at 14:45, 10:30 if I take a half-day, so no problem. Saturdays are free.
Ryan741, I'll e-mail you, if you could keep me up to speed on what's happening nearer the time?

I live closer to LHR than most and would look forward to a get together at my local....looks like I'm on holiday the last week of Feb so I may not be able to make it.
Although if you guys choose 23/02 I will expect a few good shots of AA137 taking off!!
Hopefully I'll be able to participate in a more meaningful way.
