The second VATSIM-UK meet of the year in Devon takes place Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th November.

 

The event is hosted by Mike Dean at his family hotel www.prestonsandshotel.co.uk

 

The hospitality is excellent and if you can't make it to control but live nearby why not pop over during Saturday and meet up with us.

 

I'm told there are in excess of 20 controllers coming to the event this time!!! As usual we will be staffing up as many ATC positions as we can throughout Friday evening, all day and into the evening on Saturday and part of Sunday morning. I will be there to keep an eye on them all!

 

It promises to be an excellent weekend of ATC cover.

 

A big thanks go to Mike for arranging this again and his parents for putting up with us! They have more sense than us lot though as they generally see us all in on Friday and then clear off out of the way! Who could blame them??

 

I've been looking forward to it for weeks! See you all there and if you can't get there.. why not log on and fly?

I may be tempted to do a long hual over to the UK from the US.

 

Would you have controllers on at oh, say 7 or 8 am London Area Time?

Generally between 8am and 9am 'ish we are having a sumptuous breakfast overlooking Tor Bay. From about 9am 'ish we will start filtering online as we shake of the excesses of the night before!

A quick bump for this thread. We meet again this weekend. ATC starts tonight until the early hours. We will then be online all day Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday morning again.

 

Want to fly with UK ATC... ? There will be loads of us online this weekend. Come and enjoy the experience.
