Bruntingthorpe - May 6th Cold War Jets Open Day

[Extra 300 Driver]

Anyone going? It'll be a special day, and you'll be able to see some repare beasts. Gates open 9am, Adults £15 under 16s free

[Ledaig]

Should be, lining up with a few mates, but I may have a job on for the Saturday which could cause me a problem.

Fingers crossed they may have three Buccaneers bouncing around at the same time!

Have been before and would love to go again but away that weekend

[pstruck]

Really tempted to try and make this. I've not been before, but have seen the pics/vids and it does look like a good day. Bit of a trek from home, but an early start and perhaps, with a bit of planning, a nice interesting route home.


On second thoughts.... 190 miles and 3.5 hours each way! Further than I thought and probably a bit too far. Bugger!

You'll never get nearer to anything louder or more powerful though A Lightning on full afterburner only yards away makes your ears bleed lol

Well yes, I would like to witness that. I remember them on the airshow circuit as a kid and was mostly in awe. Wonderful aircraft.

Hmm, ...... I think it'll be down to the weather as much as anything, but not a bad idea.

Wet weather isn't too bad as it gives lots of spray

Cool, at least there are a few PH'ders going. Fingers crossed I will be landing in the Cirrus, so if I bounce it dont laugh too much!

Unfortunately not. I think most of my weekend will be spend grovelling under cars with spanners.

I will make it sometime, but not this one.

Thanks for the thought re car sharing though.

[Ledaig]

Anyone know what time the first taxi run kicks off?


ETA - found it on the web, approximately 11:00.

I'll be there, with Kitchski and his 2 kids. Gay Dads Day Out springs to mind!

Sans kids now. They weren't scared of loud noises last year, but this year they think a Picasso diesel is loud. Hopefully next year they'll think differently!

[moribund]

Change of plans and I'll be there too :-)
