Wellesbourne Wings and Wheels

[Sooty655]

We've been cleaning, polishing, painting, servicing and even occasionally fettling all week getting XM655 ready for the big day on Sunday. We will have more exhibitors and classic vehicles than ever before. There will be a number of static aircraft and some notable arrivals and departures. The Large Model Association will be providing two special treats. Even the weather forecast is good, so there is no excuse for any of you.

See you all at Wellesbourne on Sunday.

See you all tomorrow

Just to provide a taster I called into see XM655 on my way home from work last night.

The photos were taken with an iphone so not quite up to the usual standard but they are here.....

I would LOVE to be there .... but does being 300 miles away and having no time or money count

[Kermit]

Hitch hiking ???????

[Spitfire]

Been there - done that - worn the T shirt out - twice ..... when I was a student many many years ago

Wouldn't do it nowadays

I refer my learned friend to the answer I gave earlier - which is still pertinent in these new circumstances....

I meant walking without the hitching

[Spitfire]

And I meant that the exact answer I gave to hitching applied equally, and in the same measure, to walking

I cannot attend due to lack of money .
Sincere apologies for missing out on this big event .

[Sploosher]

As promised I visited the Wellesbourne airfield again this evening. I knew that XM655 was to be moved across the airfield after the Citation jet operated by the boss of Munster Joinery had departed back to Ireland so I kept an eye on it using the airfield webcam (what? You didn't realise?) and I arrived just in time to record the move.

Looking forwards to an excellent weekend.

oh yes - here's a link to the webcam. Not that you'll see much of W&W I'm afraid.
