So, does he fly low over Arnage and they jump out? :o No airport there as far as I remember. Not one at Woodstock either. ::)

Yes - that's the one!
The one with very few commercially available flights.
I could cope with a bit of extra noise if I could walk to the airport and catch a flight to France!

I don't know which Woodstock you are talking about then but my house is under the flightpath in Woodstock.

Well as far as I can recall it was always known as Kidlington Aiport until the stupid name change, I don't recall it ever being called Woodstock airport, and I've lived in Oxfordshire for 56 years!
Anyway £400 is a lot per person, and is that return? Now if they flew an air ferry then I'd sign up for that in a flash !

Hi Geoff,
Yes - never been called Woodstock airport - technically it is now "London Oxford" airport.
I didn't say Woodstock Airport, I said a private charter from Woodstock. ;)
I am splitting hairs of course.
In everything but name it is Kidlington or Woodstock (Depends on where you live I suppose).
Geographically it is 96% located in the parish of Bladon actually, with only 4% in Woodstock, nothing in Kidlington.
£400 is EACH WAY, Private charter Cessna Citation 6-Seater w/ pilot (obviously).
I didn't think that was too bad, but then I don't charter flights too often myself................
Anyways ferry is booked now.
Would be fun and cool to fly down once, but would take away the excitement of the road trip methinks

I have no idea which sailing Mrs LJ has booked for us - she'll tell me I should have turned right to Poole rather than left to Pompey no doubt...

what dates and routes have you booked
16-17 June.
Bed to computer/telly room.
With sufficient speaker volume to remain informed, occasional visits to kitchen for nourishment. :angel:
More visits to fridge for hydration >:D (yeah, we don't have Lucas fridges here...we drink it cold :) )......followed by numerous trips to the loo for relief thereof.... (Nudge-nudge, wink-wink. Know what I mean? Know what I mean? 'Not talkin' water here....;) )
Race over, return to bed. :)
Again, one o' these years I'll make it across the pond.....I've only been following the best ways I've been able to from here since 1965. :-[
