Alford Transport Museum Photoshoot 16/8/12 - Caber Coffee

[findlay_MX]

Hi again everyone,

Just a little update as we're all really looking forward to Thursday.

At the moment I've spoken to the pilot, he's checked the weather forecast and everything looks to be going ahead as planned.

The list of cars confirmed looks like this at present:
Westfield
Rally prep'd Mk2 Escort
Sprint prep'd Fiesta
Hillclimb prep'd 106 Rallye
Noble
911 2.7 RS replica
LR Defender with full off-road prep and a 5inch lift
Evo 6 Rally Car
Nissan GTR
and more!
(sorry if I've missed anyone out!)

We're still looking for more cars to come along for this unique opportunity to have your car photographed with an Army helicopter.

If anything changes I'll post here so please check back on Thursday morning. If I've not posted anything else up, all is going ahead! Access via the East Gate from 11.30am. Everyone is welcome to pop along to see the shoot happen! The pilot will even show any children that turn up around the helicopter!

It will be something really exciting to enjoy before the kids go back to school!

Drop me a PM or email if you'd like more information.

Just had an email from our friendly pilot.

Forecast for tomorrow is clear. He's confirmed his ETA as 12.30 - possibly earlier with the forecast tail wind they'll have.

Look forward to seeing everyone that's coming along!

Me too..

I notice you've got a good sponsor this season

[collingbroon]

I must of missed this one, is it open to anyone? What's the cost?

[findlay_MX]

collingbroon - It's open to anyone and free for those that are bringing their cars along!

It is, however, a static event, with the opportunity to have your car photographed with a Lynx helicopter. It's for www.missionmotorsport.org as Caber Coffee has launched a new product that donates to this cause.

Call me on 07921 623453 if you need more info.

Shame it was a week day.

I came home just as the chopper was leaving, turned out a nice day

Just a pity not all of the participants can drive sensibly through the area
