Not quite...but you'll have to be there to find out what! $\:D/$

Unfortunately, I will miss whatever it is, as I can't get to the airfield until about 09:45

Thank you to all XM655 personnel today for showing me round the aircraft, and for the special treat $\:D/$
See you all Sunday

We probably won't have left Lincoln by 09:45 =))

I took a small diversion on my way home from the office this evening to catch a few shots of XM655. Even the sun came out!

Nice photos Clive. Saw a couple of your big photos at Moor Street. Nothing was touched by me in order for the rudder to be slightly off to one side

. Someone was up there after Bryan & I came down.

Give us a clue then ? I have a stall there tomorrow, when is best to get there.? As coming from Bruntingthorpe.

The Shackleton nose should be on site now ready for Wings and Wheels tomorrow.

by **Minty4371** » Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:30 pm

It is parked near where the Vulcan was yesterday morning. Will it stay there, or move to where the action is going to be tomorrow?

by **Richw_82** » Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:34 pm

We've been told by the guys that delivered it for us it will be moved tomorrow morning. There will be a few of us there then and a suitable tow vehicle.

If you have a stall then you should have been given a gate opening time for trade stalls its usually about 7am or at least it was in the past.

You missed a very pleasant day even tho' we did have a shower or two but at least Ken didn't need his wellies even tho' Hoola Hoop bought some just in case!!!!

2 good runs, with lots of interviews with various aircrew from both the Vulcan and Concord fleets very entertaining.

A good weekend all round $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

Thank you to all the organisers :ymapplause:

Had a very good day. Arrived as 3 aircraft were flying over at 09:47. Left at about 16:25 to catch bus. Could have left later, but missed the last aircraft coming in, although saw it fly over at low level. Met a few people from this forum. Met David Thomas for the first time. Missed out on getting a couple of things signed, although I saw the people. Hope I can get next year. Will go through photos and post the best on my Flickr site (they won't be as good as the official photographs).

Well done to all involved in another great Wings & Wheels.

Thanks for all the access, the banter and of course Dave McCullochs wonderful Facsimile 1000 pounders! :ymapplause:

Long may the winning formula continue!
