Little Gransden Air & Car Show

[Forthright MC]

yet another date for me diary and yet another show that ight hold a fair bit of appeal to PH'ers too!,

http://www.littlegransdenshow.co.uk/index.php

will be my first time attending this show this year, looks to be a quality day out for car and plane buffs alike, looks like theres some quality stuff on display going by previous years galleries too!
its located in a fantastic bit of countryside (plenty of nearby hooning roads) between Cambs and Beds, plus theres the added bonus of the CAMRA award winning Chequers public house just down the road in the village too should quality refreshments be required

any interested parties?

Surely this is Gransden Lodge? Location of the first post-war motor race in Britain, 1946? Thought they might at least tie into that.

I lived in Gt Gransden for a few years and can recommend the show. The guy who owns the place is also a top flight aerobatic pilot so expect some nice stunts.

I shall probably go but will have to see nearer the time.

On a side note, while you are there the Church in Gt. Gransden is worth a visit. There is a stain glass window dedicated to the RCAF pathfinders and it is pretty special. I think the RCAF squadron stationed there took part in the dambusters raid (although I cant be certain).

Edit: Really st picture, but you can see what I mean: http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Huntingdonshire/Grea...

and again

the show is this Sunday

hopefully the weather will turn out nice and there'll be a nice selection of old cars and planes to peruse!

unfortunately i'm going to have to drop out at the last moment
(the threat of heavy thunder storms and rather steep entry prices don't help make the full picture any rosier either)
if anybody here is going along enjoy the show
