Gamston (Nottinghamshire) - Le Touquet


Recommended Posts

This one brought back memories of my first UK flight (as the onoy time a pax in a PA28), and then my own flying. The flight planning/nav software is Skydemon, which is fantastic to use (sorry OzRunways), and submitting the flight plan was a push on a button in Skydemon. Note, in France, French pilots do RT in French.. which is a bummer for situationa awareness.

In honour of QEII, the mecca of British aviators (GA, LSA and others) has renamed itself as "Le Touquet-Paris-Plage Elizabeth II.". Apparently, the airport was founded by a Brit, anyway.

 

Good on Le Touquet.. Of course, on Tuesdays, it will still be an AA airport, which I was hoping meant Alcoholics Always, but is French for French speaking only. I am sure, the late Lizzy spoke French anyway!

Normally, I would say that name will be a bugger on the radio, but thankfully, but, when flying in Frande, we are expected to quote ICAO codes for airfields (slight sarcasm with respect to another thread some time back).
