Hi Guys

Maybe we should all meet up next to the Guppy at about 12:00 or most of us will never know who is who

Also to anyone who doesn't know, the Nimrod will also be fast taxying at the end, so make sure you stick around for that one.

You can lump that in with the Lightnings, Comet and Victor for "Oh God, my ears!" factor.

With the brakes needing doing on the S2000 I was going in a mates car, but sadly his fans gone US. Oh well maybe later in the year

Have a good time chaps

Kind regards

Love to have gone. The missus has pulled her yap though.

Maybe on the next one.

Oh no, just read on UKAR that the Nimrod will not be running as it's still an MoD Aircraft.

Was hoping, but just out of dry dock and not yet up to the travel.

Hi Guys

Well it was wet this morning in Ipswich but went anyway
By the time i reached Cambridge it was getting Sunny and drying up nicely

Bruntingthorpe was ok but not amazing.

£15 to get in which in my view is too much but still a fair whack cheaper than Duxford which has gone daft price wise (airshow days)

1 single toilet for everyone visiting and que was about 50 peeps long
same for food van which was for once not a ripoff in the same degree (£2.50 for a reasonable cheesburger if you could be bothered to wait)
(we popped into Tesco Express and bough sarnies etc as it's far cheaper and no queing)

Only saw 5 High Speed Taxy runs
Canopus
Bucc S2
JP T4
EE Lung Rattler
Teasin Tyna (which barely bothered to get any speed) (probably trying not to replicate last year with the Fun Police!).

Last time i went years ago (met Ben & DG etc but can't remember what year) it was continuous runs and you could get really close.
still worth the trip though

A Few piccies (I am not a photographer like a lot of you chaps so no naggin )

Regards
Rick

Hi airboatr

I still can't hear much after the Lightning went off with both Burners lit

worth the permanent ear damage for sure.
