Barn Farm (I think that's what it's called) is the place to be, right at the end of the runway, but book ASAP as it fills up very fast!!

Website is very hit & miss. Some items are not clickable. Could it be a problem which also caused the time left to be way out (545 days till the 2011 show :-O)
Just sent an email to them. Will wait to see if I get a reply.

It was right the other day - it obviously hiccupped the other night and added another 365 days to the total :))

You are safe on this one, Jiggy. A quick search reveals that Xpl had used it EIGHT times (and RLN once) before your misdemeanour. ;)

So "stuck" appears to apply mainly to Xpl himself. (No surprise there, then). :p

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Help! Can't make Wellesbourne wings and wheels this year (which usually my must see fathers day appointment), so if I can only travel to one 'event', what shall it be?

Suggestions?
