Beefsteak 305 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think that It would be a good idea if we started to organize now for one in March time , judging from interest we might have to book in to the Blue bell for lunch (depending on numbers) It would also be an idea to sort out car pooling etc . obviously I'll be coming through Nott's with an empty car so can get in 3 comfortably . What say you Rog ?? Put your names on the notice board below ......LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,597 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ayup Beefsteak, I agree and all things being equal I should still have the four seater pickup so can accommodate 3 more, If however the aviation day was to be in April, that is when the airshow pilot starts his daily flying display practice from 08.00hrs, just a thought Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think that It would be a good idea if we started to organize now Yes but an even better idea would be for one in 2009? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,872 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey Fynger, invite your mate with the bike and side car, make sure he brings a spanner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,597 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Any time suits me Ian, are we looking at a similar format to the last invasion of bomber county by the Nottstalgians? Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think it would be a good idea to do the same format Possible itinerary for those interested. Waddo , Metheringham ,coffee at the hotel , Dambusters memorial, your work, if ok, (I'll get a picture of that bomb this time !!) Thorpe camp for a brief stop, Coningsby first visit , maybe a split at this point, those who want to visit the BBMF to do so, and those who want a visit to gates 3/4 for some photos of whatever is in the air or on the ground do so , meeting up at the Blue Bell for H+E and a pint of Dambuster or the like, at a certain time to be ascertained on the day. Back to Coningsby viewing area and gate 4 for a while , then back to Waddo to finish !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

firbeck 859 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 For your information, trips round the hangar at the BBMF, the best place to see the aircraft, probably undergoing maintenance in March as well, is by guided tour only and it may be a good idea to book before hand. The Lincolnshire Heritage Centre at East Kirkby, home of 'Just Jane', is having Lancaster taxi runs on Wednesday, March 25th between 11am and 1:30pm, probably the closest you'll get to an operating Lanc at that time of year, and for those with a healthy bank balance you can book a trip in it as well, £200:00 a time, you'd better get busking Fynger.

plantfit 7,597 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Firbeck, Yes guided tour only and well worth it, about 2-3 squid for the tour and it last about an hour, tour guides are brilliant, shop also worth a visit, full of books gifts etc. Beefsteak, I will get a picture of the bomb for you this week, the "Picket Hamilton fort" that was dug up from our site is now at Thorpe camp and I think they are going to bury it as was intended and leave it jacked up for visitors to see, (for those who don't know what I'm on about there check out Mr Oogle it's just a bit of history that would have been forgotten without folk such as the Thorpe camp people. Looking forward to the day already and to meeting all that are coming Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,597 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Tempting innit? Lincolnshire ham and eggs with chips and garden peas Aviation + Nottstalgians + Food/Drink + Aviation = great day out Rog Now are you tempted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Are you buying ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Even though the site of ham and eggs is very tempting I think I will give it a miss/mrs. Does one get pineapple as well as the pale insipid eggs or doesn’t one have a choice in the matter, if that’s indeed the case you can definitely take me of your stand by driver rotor after all I’m not a charity….. Ps…hope the ham and eggs didn’t cost no more than £2'99, if so you were robbed666 Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
