Do you know if booking is needed? I can't seem to find mention of either of those on the website.

Warren, is it Tuesday the 2nd or Wednesday the 3rd? Unfortunately I have a 6pm meeting on Weds 3rd so I can't go if it is then

No booking required.

Is this just one of those turn up and learn thingymajigs? If so I may be up for it.

[Balmoral Green]

I'm going to go the the Concorde one, to see how it's done, and in readiness for the V8 one. Hopefully park the car outside the door for that, seeing as it's the lump in question.

[williamp]

sounds good, thanks. Do I need to book?

I daren't bring the BMW. I might bring thw Aston if the weather's OK though.

[Balmoral Green]

Hi Will, no booking, just turn up.

[Polarbert]

Is it the concorde engine or the whole plane? Is it a lecture about the flight testing?

Sounds epic. Might have to make the trip over.

[Ace-T]

Dammit, I will be there for the first half hour, I can always nip back to work for this darn meeting then pile back to the lecture if it is still on...

This is tomorrow, who is actually going? so we can arrange to meet up if you want to? and maybe have a drink and a bite to eat afterwards?

I was about to post to see if there was a plan but just seen it's been cancelled

[mcdjl]

[Balmoral Green]

Thanks for the heads up Pete.

Was just about to get changed and head on out, good job I checked on here to see who else was coming?

Anyone know if this is going to happen/any more info?

[mcdjl]

Not just me that found the website fairly useless then...Theres an inagural lecture that night at Loughborough uni which I'm going to head along to instead something about "seeing the unseen" which sounds interesting though maybe less fun...but also nearer to me.
