Chances are I'll be in the disealsel. I'll be needing a mortgage for fuel for the Tiv soon!! I dont think that would have the samme effect round the track

[Xplumberlives]

Bum!

[Gaz]

Bum?

He'll probably bring that with him!

[Gaz]

I'm hearing whispers that 558 will not be flying out til the Monday

[Olicat]

Sleeping bag and heater packed for an overnight stay in the Guppy.
Anything else?

Torch would be a good idea

Could be down to availability of the crew

I think so. It's a different crew flying her out. I believe, Martin is flying her in and Kev, is flying her out.


ALSO.....


DUE TO THE EXPECTED CROWD LEVELS, THE GATES WILL BE OPENED AS SOON AS A QUEUE FORMS.

Just out of interest, how full/busy would it have to be to close the gates?

I doubt very much that Dave would turn anyone away, but, any more than 5000 and we couldn't manage the traffic, sustenance or sanitation IMHO.



PS: second butty wagon is being organised to keep the lines down

My commitment to attend is fading fast.

Now 558 is confirmed, it will be mayhem.

Yes, you make a good point there!

That's what I was wondering about, the parking and what not.
Going to be cramped on the crowd line if they get anywhere near 5000



Even 558 isn't helping my cause
Told mum 558 was going and her response was "I've already seen that"
Need to think of another angle

[Gaz]

Crowd line is being extended, almost as far as the pillbox/windsock. The grass behind the Guppy is being used for parking AS WELL AS the usual area, we're introducing pay lanes inside the airfield to stop the queues building up outside.

Now, if only you knew somebody inside who can get you in early and allow you to exit out of the "Alternate" gateway

Going on holiday on Sunday 29th May ...........................Then it hit me after I'd booked it..................Cold War Jets Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I won't be attending afterall

Then I find out it gets worse.............no tv.........worse still.....No internet! I have to wait a week to see the pics and vids

Have a nice time y'all

[Olicat]

Have fun!

Also, for the first time I can remember, the grass strip will be closed as soon as the gates open, all arriving aircraft (And there could well be some interesting ones (not JUST a vulcan) ) will have to use the main strip. This is because, in the past, we've had anoraks kneeling on the grass strip to get a photo of the arriving aircraft, they said they didn't realise it was an active runway!!

This is starting to feel like a pretty serious show!




And I just love it!

[Stigish]

Stop

Just..... wow

[Olicat]

Anoraks?! they of all people should know what a runway looks like!

[Xplumberlives]

:(( Stop

WHY?

[Jigsaw]

Tempting fate here but it actually looks like I can make it this year (assuming I'm not rota'd to work). It's my eldest's birthday but i'm sure he won't mind. Finger's etc crossed.
