[Xplumberlives]

Andy, do you have an itinary for Sunday?

[Mags]

really must get to this sometime. Any ideas of dates for next year?

[320psi]

Andy, do you have an itinary for Sunday?

Hi,

Ummm, no Im afraid not, it not our day, we only take a small part in it, we dont orgainse it, apart from advertising it.

We will find out on Saturday afternoon no doubt

Best guess would be thus:

11am JP
11.30 Hunter
12noon Comet
12.30 Lightning
1pm Bucc (navy one slow taxy wing demo)
1.30pm Hunter
2pm Iskra
2.30 Camberra
3pm BBMF fly by
3.30pm Victor

This a total guess so dont hold me to it

All the other aircraft will be open and viewable, along with all the stalls and some commentry

If you want PM me your mobile no. and as soon as we have disscussed the running order on Sat I will tx you and you can post it here and else where,

Mags,

Ummmm not a clue, we take each year as it comes, all depends on what paying customers are using the track on certain dates, we work around whats happing on site, but again I will have a wilde guess for you:

Nov 2009 LPG twlight fast taxy (late Nov)
Feb 2010 LPG twlight do mid Feb (not thought this one though yet, is a might do)
May 2010 CWJ (early May)
July/Aug 2010 LPG QRA day
Aug/Sept 2010 CWJ day

Hope that helps, but as always I will post some info in plenty of time

Get your self along, hope you wont be dissapointed, and make the best of what you see

Cheers

[Iggie]

I hope you have a good day Andy, and anyone else going too. I'll have to miss this one as at Dunsfold over the weekend with Clan Naddy; camping........

(That's in a tent before you comment XP )

[Xplumberlives]

Oh I naturally expected it to be CAMPING IT UP!

[Iggie]

320psi - Ta for info

Will keep an eye out for dates

[Xplumberlives]

All being well I will post a listing for tomorrows day at Bruntingthorpe once Andy has passed me the details!

I had a text from Andy at about 19:15 saying that as yet the CWJ guys hadn't decided on a running order!
He hopes to update me with something more solid at approximately 11:00 and I will duly post it here.

Well, I am presuming having heard nothing from Andy that the CWJ boys cuffed it, hope it all went well!

[Old Rigger]

It was a good day today, met 320psi (Andy) and it was a pleasure and honour to speak to the man himself. The QRA shed looks better 'live' than the photos, I even managed to part with some money for that cause as well as a new Vulcan mug and the Vulcan Ventures book. Nice to have met a few other peeps today, but due to rushing the wife out this morning (no coat, so ended up sat in car + it looked like it was going to end up like last year when it started drizzling) and having to move youngest back into university digs we left after the Buccaneer run. When I get time I will post a few pics & Vids

[Hihonyr8811]

Was a really good day sad that they couldn't get the Comet to behave, but there you go

Some pics here

For those who can.

I would post them here, but I forgot to resize them and I'm far to tired to fo it manually

[Cluny]

Especially as i was supposed to be on it
Next time perhaps

[Hihonyr8811]

I hope you're not expecting sympathy

[Old Rigger]

Despite wandering around looking for forumeers, it appears I have missed meeting a lot of you guys and gals, and it looks like some cannot off been to far from the few places on the crowd line I used. A few from today, others have posted similar and better, sorry about direct linking but it is easier, if they work.

[Old Rigger]

Thanks guys, SM I have know idea I assumed it was another 'no can fly' aircraft due to it being parked where it was.

A couple I do know can fly:
