Spottersday 20 May 2015 exercise THPU - Beauvechain

[frank kramer]

No, if I remember correctly it is the first gate on the left after turning left at the traffic lights after passing the landing lights to the southwest of the field (near the fire-brigade and the tower)

[patrick dirksen]

It's at 50 44 30 N, 4 46 02 E.

In short: my description fits Patrick's and Jeroen's coordinates, although when I enter Jeroen's coordinates in google maps I end up somewhere near Gosselies for some reason

[jeroenvv]

That's the GPS info that I got from THPU organisation. When entered correct, the coordinates will show you the center of the base (not very useful). They somehow don't work in Google Maps though. Just keep the Chaussée de Wavre road as a destination, I'm sure someone there will help you, or that you meet other people going in the same direction

The gates will Open at 8:00!

Just got a reply from Beauvechain: gate open at 0800h, 1000h start spottersday. (Literally they say: 1000h: start photography).

Hope this helps,

Official update:

This only for the people participating the THPU Spottersday!
Dear Aviation friends, dear THPU Spottersday visitors!
The THPU Spottersday and activities (in the THPU zone) will start as from 10hr00 but the base will open the parkingfacilities as from 08hr00 in order to prevent traffic jam!
Entrance on base will be GATE 3, Chaussée de Wavre - 1320 Beauvechain, and then follow the C7 markers!

[patrick dirksen]

Just keep the Chaussée de Wavre road as a destination, I'm sure someone there will help you, or that you meet other people going in the same direction

Or use my coordinates, as they get you exactly at the gate....

[g-spot]

Expect traffic jams around 08 am or earlier, and since there is nothing till 10 am, better to not come to early.
I will do some recce, and if too crowded I'll head back for breakfast first.

[Nielis]

Does anybody have a complete log from today?

Thanks!
