F1 and Spitfire Duxford yesterday

Noise Alert Leaflet.

It now turns out that this is BOGUS.! Whoever printed and distributed it is nothing to do with any councils, whether local or county, and the leaflet is in fact illegal propaganda.!:mad:

By the way testing is in progress today, and because of the lack of wind sounds no worse that a motorbike on the M11.!:rolleyes:

Noise Alert leaflet.

Yes thats right. Interesting to note that the leaflet says “if your affected by the noise let your officials know”.. but does’nt mention “if you don’t have a problem with the noise let your officials know”.! Tossers..

F1 at Duxford

The village has been leafleted to stir up protest against the F1 testing but all the subsequent messages to the PC have been in favour.

I’m surprised Bentwaters hasnt been considered for the F1 testing, that said, it is a tad out of the way in the corner of Suffolk.

The benefits to Duxford though are obvious…….but my worry is the ‘NIMBY brigade’, it could add fuel to their argument.

I’d imagine any time

Hi Blue Robin,

Any idea what time… might make a suitable day out so as to combine my interest in old aeroplanes with my son’s interest in F1.

Cheers

More brum-brum-brummery tomorrow at DX.

Better runway and a nicer facility?

Oh B****R!!-i didn’t go coz it was pouring down here-looks like it held off at DX

Why are they no longer at Kemble? hopefully nothing to do with Kemble’s problems with the local residents.

it’s these sorts of whingers (whom when not writing into bbc “points of view”, or writing to their local mp about the price of fish), that help to ensure the fun police get to wag their pace sticks, at anything even remotely more interesting than Beige wallpaper.

Wonder if it is a lady with chickens?

Dear oh dear.. i was in there yesterday with my son, along with several other people from neighbouring villages who were also enjoying the spectacle. Whilst i suspect the majority of local people do not have a problem with the event, it is always the minority that are listened to the most.!:(

It was chilly to say the least..

Any more photos? 🙁

The team trucks arrived this morning….

I think it is brilliant! So there! I have taken my daughters to see F1 testing at Silverstone when they were 3 and 5 years old and had their own race car suits (not allowed sadly anymore)….they were so impressed by the engine sound….so hats off great to see…there are probably 361 days of the year when you dont have to suffer F1 engines…I just wish I could time a visit with F1 there…
It is great to see that Duxford can make some extra money too….now spend it on restoring some great British aircraft

Yes.

Give air traffic a quick call on 01223-833376. They should have the latest timetable.
