Morning all, just had another cancellation for Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances, so offering up a free place on here if anybody wants it.
Tickets sales close Wednesday and please only say yes if you genuinely can come. Weather is looking fine!

I'm sure we can get you in stormtrooper. The passenger will be £10, payable at the Car Show Tea and Coffee tent on arrival and all I need is your Name, Car Make, Model and Reg number and email address and I'll get the ticket over to you. If you have an interesting car then you are welcome, but we can't put your family Qashqai in the show ground and pretend it's a classic
Email me the info at neilreed@mac.com now and I'll sort it out tonight.

All sorted, thanks so much Neil.Email me the info at neilreed@mac.com now and I'll sort it out tonight.
We’re aiming to arrive at 08.30.
Don’t know anyone else going, are there any plans or just arrive individually?

There are three for PH each day, but that's not quite enough logistically for it to work, but there are some wonderful cars attending and you'll all look great no matter what
I'm totally confused now. That's not hard though, like Pooh I'm a bear of very little brain. Are there really only that few PHers attending?I received your e-mailed ticket on Saturday btw, thanks (I was one of those who had a spam issue).

I'm going on Sunday not Saturday, but I asked the same question (last post on page 1). Maybe we'll both find out... The Pooh bear comment made me laugh, I won’t say on here why but that’s very close to my heart at the moment!
Can’t help on organising anything before you get there, my head is firmly focussed on making sure we get you all in safely! Although next year we’re looking to bring back a 2 hour run early in the morning from Brooklands to Biggin Hill which includes a stop at Let’s Race in Horley for an F1 simulator race.

Hi Neil
Can you say how many cars you've got coming on the Saturday? I'm considering coming to display my car but don't want to be stuck there til 5:30 if there's only 20 cars to see? I'm more in to cars than planes to be honest :-)
Cheers
Gary
In a previous confirmation email he's expecting 150 on Saturday and 200 on Sunday.Can you say how many cars you've got coming on the Saturday?

See you in the venue
Somehow I suspected the car I ended up parked behind might be yours. stroller said:
Great day today, thanks to Neil and the team for organising....
+1After an unpromising start weather-wise, as the day progressed it got better and better.
I've now got to go through over 600 pics weeding out the ones which don't quite cut it.
Cracking day on Sunday although the getting out at the end was chaos - understand that's Biggin Hill's doing so hopefully they'll sort something out for next years event.
My snaps of the day are here. http://craigmcateer.co.uk/biggin-hill-festival-of-...

Hi All, thanks for joining us. I try and do as much as I can to make it safe and fun on the day, from arrival, through to the tea and coffee availability and hope that comes across. I can't rectify the bits I don't control (such as the exit!) but we had a debrief today and the exit is a consideration for all and affects so many large events. But we'll see if we can change elements for ourselves next year.
My goal is to have a laugh with some people, have a great day and then hand some cheques out to some amazing charities so thanks to all those who contributed along the way. This year we were just shy of £8,000 in total for the 2 days. So very pleased and have some delighted charities. It's such a great airshow on top of all that, so if the car show ever stopped, I'd still be there as a punter (it would be much more relaxing!!!)
However, I'd love to see everybody and more back next year. And can't wait to look at some of the photos this evening. Apologies if I didn't catch up with everyone, but thank you so much for being part of it. Four years ago it was 50 cars in a field at the back, now its turning into a proper show in the centre of the airshow. Really proud of it and thanks for the support. Best Neil
