MEMO: LOWVELD AIR SHOW 24 MAY 2014
Date: 16 April 2014

DEAR TENANTS AND OTHER AIRFIELD FRIENDS


As most of you will be aware, on 24 May 2014 the Lowveld Air show will be making its debut after many years of absence.
Thank you to all who have already shown their enthusiasm and support during this very rushed preparation stage. We look forward to your continued involvement during the run up to the big event.
Please be advised that the Nelspruit Airfield will be closed to all operations from:
24 May 06:00am to 25 May 2014 06:00am
We understand that these restrictions may pose a concern for some of you and we invite you to discuss these issues with us well in advanced. Aircraft may land and take off from KMIA on that day.
No hangers will be in accessible, as parking has been allocated throughout the grounds. Once again should this be a problem for anyone, you need to advise us well in advance.
Kindly distribute this mail to all staff and other affected parties who may not be on this distribution list.
Further correspondence regarding the air show will be distributed in the coming weeks.
Please direct all queries regarding your logistics for the 24 May 2014 to Willemien Hodgkinson at Tel: 013 741 6400 or via e-mail: willemien.hodgkinson@ffa.co.za .

Yours sincerely
Lowveld Air Show Committee

PJL,

Thank you. Diarised. Almost tempted to start packing the lunch, biltong, camera, chairs and liquid refreshments right now.

Hi PJL,

I've gone to Avcom's tutorial to find out how to post photos on the forum. I used the [img] command with the photo's IP address, as i understood the instructions. If there's another or more correct way I'll gladly comply.

Regards.
