If you want to have some photo's taken in front of some planes what about North Weald (I know it's Essex, but....) to see the aircraft you need to pre-book for permission which if you ask nicely they might also be able to open the doors for photo shoot's infront of a B25 Mitchell or maybe a Hawker Sea Fury. Since the Summer is over most will be tucked up for the winter. Can't hurt to ask. Aces High Flying Museum (Tel: [phone]). open 7 days a week too. >> Edited by FourWheelDrift on Monday 4th October 20:57

Thanks for that FWD. You posted this while I was doing my smart a*se reply to Nick, worth a call as you say - and if we go down that far, I suppose we could pass Castle TVR near Stansted (except they`ll be closed on a Sunday)

Duxford seems to be the favoured destination at present but keep em coming

I'm happy with Duxford, although I'm half tempted to go see the rallycross lot at Brands. Parking there may be an issue however....(Brands that is).

We gave them a Jaguar fighter aircraft (about £15 million worth) and fully prepared reconnaissance pod (about £2 million) for free, and all we managed to scrounge off of them was 1 (yes ONE) family ticket...... so I don't think we'll get any sort of deal from them

Couldn't you have sold it to some despotic third world dictator then bought all the tickets you wanted?

[Stella star]

Could do- live so close there'd be no excuse - other than both the cars dying which leaves the diesel or the subaru

[unity1]

An excuse for an end of year run, sounds good to me.

So this is your choice so far Nick 1. £15m for a ticket into Duxford 2. Take the low road with Barcardi to Scotland 3. Get soot in your eyes at the Colne Valley Railway

How about we all stay tucked up at home cos the weather is gonna be poo anyway!!!!

I know, all pile round my gaff for a BBQ then a blast on the runway

Actually that's not a bad idea. We can all bring our own grub and booze, you just supply the charcoal. And tarmac. Done, Sir

The weather has been booked for sun with light cloud and perhaps an odd light shower - I don`t want the wish to be too un-realistic!

If it`s any worse than that, it won`t happen that date ok

[drewbags]

Would love to come along, but I think we are travelling back from the Mother-in-Laws. Maybe if it is the following week?

Seems like the perfect excuse for leaving the Mother-in-Laws early to me!! The 31st is the main date but I`m advising to try and keep the following Sunday (7th Nov) free just incase because the weather is going to be more doubtful by then I`m sure

We drove through Huntingdon a couple of days ago and travelled down the A14. I did note Shell services about a mile or so after Hemingford Grey and thought that might make a good spot. I know the Bridge Hotel just off the ring road, is your suggestion anywhere near there?

Nearer the time I will put up my suggested meeting points and some times

Ian,
About 100 meters before the Bridge Hotel adjacent to the river on the Left.

Haven`t noticed the car park but I guess you mean near the river. There will be others coming from that way so we will have to decide which is easier to find for the Lincs/Norfolkers.
