[MadNaddy]

Mental note to self - take spare trousers in case there is a need to change in the car park before the drive home again.

Hopefully (fingers AND toes crossed - yes I'm walking funny!) that I'll make it Not able to drive far yet - hopefully will by then.....

[Wedgy]

Im not having much luck with dates right now. My calendar isnt exactly full, but so far, Photo day No, VTTS AGM No, CWJ Open day No

[Mayfly]

if it was up to me I would be there but as I have said previously it's difficult to get DT back to the 'office' a W/Es

hope you have a good time tho'

[Saracenman]

as above - I'd love to see/hear/experience the Victor again after far too many years, Canopus too after my last encounter at her last Boscombe Down sortie - but most of all 320's Lightnings

one day...

Mister Cooper::::::::

You would know this.......

Have the Dutch Constellation people booked into
any of the UK airshows for this summer yet? I know
they've finally gotten their crew certification status
fixed, but they're not saying much about where they
will or might appear.....

Last summer was a total CX, so you ought to be able
to see them this summer ------- maybe.

Thanks,

Dan4th

Aviodromes Lockheed Constellation and Douglas DC-2 ready to star in European airshow season

Lelystad, the Netherlands, May 20, 2008 – On Saturday May 17th, Lockheed 749 Constellation N749NL ‘Flevoland’ was rolled out of the exhibition hall of the Aviodrome–Dutch National Aviation Theme Park and Museum at Lelystad-Airport. The Constellation ‘Flevoland’ is the only remaining flying example of its type in the world and will take part in the European air show season. The Constellation will fly next to another ‘Mohican’ propliner, the Douglas DC-2 ‘Uiver’, which is also the last airworthy example of its type.

i have found this also, but it's not a massive help i'm afraid

‘Het mooiste vliegtuig ooit ontworpen’, ‘het beste driemotorige vliegtuig’*, de ‘Grande Dame’ van de Nederlandse Luchtvaart… Het zijn enkele uitdrukkingen die de Lockheed Constellation beschrijven. Iedereen die ooit kennis gemaakt heeft met een ‘Connie’ zal dat moment niet snel vergeten en het zal in menig geheugen als mooie herinnering gegrift staan.
De Lockheed Constellation stond al jaren op de prioriteitenlijst van de Aviodrome en is sinds 2002, na bijna anderhalf jaar werken in de woestijn van Arizona, als onderdeel van de collectie van de Aviodrome in Lelystad te vinden (zie oude updates).

De Aviodrome wil erg graag in 2008 weer met dit unieke vliegtuig vliegen om het Nederlandse en Europese publiek de Connie vliegend te tonen. We kunnen uw hulp daar goed bij gebruiken (zie hier). We zullen u de komende tijd op de hoogte houden van de voortgang.



also this here

otherwise Danf, i really don't know - sorry

sm

[Dan4th]

Yeah, I know, but their website is Generally
available in English as well. It's just that for
some reason the site isn't updated as often as
you might LIKE -- hence your boo-boo......

One would THINK they'd want people to KNOW
where and when not to mention being ECSTATIC
about finally having their mechanical and
regulatory issues settled......

Waddo, huh? That means there might be MORE
in UK!

A loose translation used an online tool so don't blame me that it doesn't read right No wonder i can not speak dutch

Translation: Dutch to English
The most beautiful plane, `ever devised the best driemotorige plane *, the `Grande lady of Dutch aviation… It are some expressions which the Lockheed Constellation describe. Everyone whom ever knowledge has made with `Connie will not forget that moment rapidly and it will stand in many memories as beautiful memory gegrift.
The Lockheed Constellation had stood for years on the list of priorities of the Aviodrome and have been since 2002, after almost a year and a half work in the desert of Arizona, as a component of the collectie of the Aviodrome in Lelystad to find (to see old updates).
The Aviodrome want fly a lot gladly in 2008, with this unique plane to show the Connie to the Dutch and European public flying. We can use your aid thereby good (to see here). We you will love the coming time on altitude the progress.
