Default Options for visiting pilots at Lasham

Friendly professional folk.
I arrived on a rainy "horrible" day. Only had a couple of hours before
needing to get to Heathrow. Even with effectively 8/8 and embedded rain
squalls passing through regularly - there were a lot of people there.
Mostly enjoying a pub lunch in the clubhouse...

Took a little organisation and paperwork, but I was in the ASK21 behind
a Tug in 30 minutes with Bob Bickers in the back. First and only time I
have ever followed a tug up into a hole in the clouds to get to release
height...

As prior posters have said - email or phone the office - they are very
helpful.
As prior posters have said it gets busy - they have something like 9
K13s and the 21, to say nothing of the private fleet.

Cheers
Bruce

I'll be traveling to Southampton UK next week and would like to stop by
Lasham on Saturday & take a dual flight. I've visited the website and
unfortunately wasn't able to discern what options are available. Any
local knowledge would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Craig Funston
