Pete,
You going to be at the Black Sands fly in 2/3 Nov?
Tim

For the Europa list, every year we have a Black Sands fly-in, landing on a beach
near Raglan Airfield, New Zealand, at low tide, obviously. The annual Black
Sands dust up. Two Europa aircraft have done it so far, Gavin Lee and Bill 
Sisley
so hopefully a third shortly.
Will report back.
