Bruntingthorp Cold War Jets 2013

[S10GTA]

This year it is on 26th May.

Anybody else planning on going? Think this will be my 4th year on the trot. Great day out.

[tt601]

Do the lightning s run? Looks an interesting day.

[S10GTA]

They do. One or two runs normally.

[IanMorewood]

I was looking the other day, clashes with the Navy stuff that’s happening in Liverpool (Battle of Atlantic) the same weekend. Bunters could do well to actually tell folks what they plan to run as I would rather spend time in Leicestershire than Merseyside.

No point, the schedule's broken within 10mins of the day commencing!

Great day out, I go every year and this one will be no different.

I understand a schedule would probably not work but they could at least say they hope to run the Victor/Nimrod/Lightning/etc.....

[Extra 300 Driver]

I'll be flying in, if the Cirrus is back. Love it.

Aside from the fact it's a Comet 4C with RR Avon engines.

[Eric Mc]

Only the very early Comets had Ghosts.
