LAA TOUR OF SCOTLAND: 22-29 MAY 2022
Plans are well advanced for our upcoming tour. There has been an excellent response from LAA members all over the country, either wishing to join in for the whole week or just dip in as time allows for a few days.
Official start at Breighton on 22 May and onto Perth Monday 23 via Eshott Airfield.
If you wish to book accommodation you ought to do so soon, but suggest you bring a light tent in case we get weathered in somewhere or divert. All arrangements are down to you, including accommodation, meals (some are arranged BBQs), flights, landing fees (some free) and PPR where needed. Local flyers and Struts are helping with routing advice, smaller airstrips if you fancy dropping in, and maintenance. Meet The LAA Day is at Perth on Saturday 28 May with a free landing and BBQ with a ceilidh band in the evening.
