I'm going :D

My Gramps was a Lanc' bomb aimer in WWII so there's no way I'd miss this for the world :D
 
I think I may well be there :)
 
awesome. well, if anyone fancies a mini meet get in touch! I'll be there with felixstowe air cadets, kind of as I wil trek around leaving them to their own devices.

looking forward to it to be honest. I have yet to see a eurofighter in action!

fingers crassed kerso can get my 50-150 f2.8 ex dc macro to me on time.

:)

Bugger! Can't make it!

Somebody please squeeze a few off for me? (Shots, that is!)

But I am looking at the Music in Flight show @ Sywell in July - looks like the place to be! Classical music and 'planes - nearly better than chocolate and sex! (I don't smoke now, you understand)
 
Yes - I will be there.

The family Oy are dropping me off outside at about lunchtime.

Lookout for a fat beardie bloke with a D200 and a Lowepro Slingshot bag :)

95min of flying time? Not a lot to travel 200miles each way for :(

I hope I get there in time for the first section!

Ah well - I'm committed to going now. If I don't I'll end up shopping round Cambridge :eek:
 
I went - and thanks to the marvel that is the M6 Toll I got there in time :)

Had a good time - lonely on me todd - and the food was atrocious if you're veggie like me. But - still - I enjoyed the day and the weather picked up towards the end :)

Not sure how the pix will turn - lots to process!
 
I was there too :D

I revelled in my familial historical connections with the RAF and the Avro Lancaster, and will bore you all to death in due course with various shots and random musings on WWII and what is, for me at least, an awe-inspiring, terrible and intriguing time in our recent history :rules:

There were a few squadrons there from around the country. Hopefully OY and a few others incl myself will be meeting up for the Flying Legends, which is always a good show.

Will post a meet thread soon. With plenty of notice for eveyone to plan it.

King.
