Perhaps you should speak to Group Captain Roebuck!

Yes I suppose we need the seal of approval first... Chocks away!!

You have my permission......and possibly my company for the journey....



Sounds like a good deal to me.

Serious question: Should the club be looking at something like this? Would save the cost of an overnight stay at the very least. Blackpool often fly down to a game on the same day, saving money and time in the process.

I recall the club flying Russ Perkins from London a number of times to play in league games during the later 80's.

I doubt it would save money, as most teams who fly to games get their own coach to pick them up on arrival - so the costs will be high. Plus I think they still overnight even though they do fly down.

There don't seem to be any flights on the Saturday so it would't be a good deal for the players? To get the £2 flight down it means an 8.a.m. start on the Friday and come back the Sunday or Monday teatime - Remember the planes will probably have propellers CC so if you are joining us we will need an extra bit of thrust


Flybe actually have one of the Exeter stands named after them

....many on SV's think I'm a bag of wind to start with.....so that would provide the extra thrust

The last time I flew in a plane with propellers, I could have sworn that the crocs we flew over had their jaws open thinking 'there's a juicey bugger in that plane....'

My wife and daughter where praying.....not sure about what!

Flybe actually have one of those planes called "Grecian Wembley". Made me smile when I got on board, thinking how they had to wait a season until they could name it!

Does it take an extra 12 months to go up?

Don't forget to add £16 for each bag you take on the Biggles trip - not including the Mrs.!
