XL391 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Always a good day out this, this will be my 5th year of attendance. There are normally one or two classics that turn up as well. Worth the admission alone just to get that close to an English Electric Lightning at full reheat!! (Ear Defenders advised...) The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Avro Lancaster is also expected to do a flypast during the day. There is a very good chance the lads at Bruntingthorpe will have had their new toy delivered by that time, in the shape of a recently retired Nimrod MR2... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1393 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Went last year, which turned out quite eventful with the Victor taking to the air during what should have been a fast taxi run!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XL391 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Ah, yes!! I'll never forget that... I think they'll be closing the throttles a bit earlier this year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm quite interested in coming along. Is it the type of event where we can have a club stand, or is it park up together and enjoy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Modifier Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'd be interested in this too. All being well, should be back in the country... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XL391 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Is it the type of event where we can have a club stand, or is it park up together and enjoy ? I'd say just park up and enjoy, However, I know one of the Lightning Group guys who has a lot to do with the organisation of the event so if you wanted to put a club stand there I could certainly ask the question for you...

XL391 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 If I manage to get my new 4.6 engine in by the end of the month I will be there Ah! Paul i've just clocked your avatar!! Got some pics of your beast last year by the Lightning Q shed that i'll post up (not brilliant). Was waiting around for a bit hoping you'd come back so I could hear her running! Fantastic car by the way mate, an absolute credit to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
