Hi Guy's..
This just in re the Vimys arrival at Brooklands Museum..
The Vimy – I know lots of you want to see the Vimy fly in, if it is going to, as that is still not definite. However, IF it does fly in here, the earliest it can be will be next week, but that is subject to many variables, not least the weather. This means that it may be a last minute decision, but we will have an absolute minimum of 12 hours notice, hopefully a lot more.
All I can say is that I will put out an email to everyone as soon as Julian tells me a time and date. It will also be put on the website as soon as the information is known, so please keep checking (

So did it sneak in unannounced Dave? I see on the website that 21st Nov is Vimy exhibition day.

Hi Dennis
Well mate.. if it did, it didn't let anyone know.

It certainly wasn't there today and nobody I spoke to had anything further to add.. other than raising the continued argument that it should be allowed to continue flying

One would expect that it would be there for a "Vimy Exhibition Day" Where is it at the moment? Or, where do they think it is?
The way I'm reading the blurb, is that it's going in the Wellington hangar.
I'll keep on checking back.

Hi Dennis
One hurdle has been overcome. A Piper Cub made 2 test landings on the 'grass strip' at Mercedes Benz World yesterday (Thur) so all they're waiting for now is the weather.. which isn't looking good over the next few days
She
is going into the Wellington hangar (as I understand it too) which begs the question, what's happening to the stuff already in there

I'm sure they have a cunning plan!

As of now.looking at the longer term forecast next Friday and Saturday look OK........sunny.
Maybe sometime around then but I doubt it before
On the other hand the weather forecast is never right over that period

How true that is

The only accurate description I see is when they report what has happened that day on the late weather report

I am sure though...after consulting my seaweed and having looked at the duck holding an umbrella and sheltering under a tree....it won't be this weekend
