Anyone in Heathrow area with a finished VortX R1?

Hi,

I am on a training course in the UK Thursday-Friday next week and will be staying in the Sheraton Skyline Hotel & Conference Centre near Heathrow (Heathrow Airport, Bath Road · Hayes UB3 5BP).
I wonder if there was anyone in the area with a finished R1 engined (preferably, but other BEC versions could be interesting, too) VortX who would be able to meet me and maybe even take me for a ride...
As I am still planning what to buy and pretty much decided on an MNR, but never seen one in the flesh, I would take this opportunity to see one in real life...

Not sure about the timeline of the trainings, but I guess I will finish around 6 in the evening...

I might be around on Saturday too, but not sure yet...

Thanks a lot!

Gergerly,


South towards Southampton
Saturday would obviously be the best as it would be daylight so you could have more of a prod around and a better feel of the driving experience.

Ooohhh the skyline .... Good hotel, I used to go there for my B737 Sim training. Make sure you pop over to Uxbridge or Slough for some shopping hehehe.

Paul,
Saturday is fine with me. Just U2U me the coordinates and when it would be best to meet up. I will have no car there so will have to take the train, so some directions would help...
Thanks mate! Looking forward to it!
