9am-ish for Runnymede, for anyone who wants to go on the way to Hendon, or who wakes up / arrives early enough.
10:30-ish Meet up in the foyer at Hendon, exchange pleasantries and so on, and begin wandering
1-ish eat.
2-ish remove perch from underneath Lancaster. 2 – 6, heave.
Possibly late-ish (depending on time and general consensus) nick the Typhoon from the exhibition hall, wander down to the tube and head into London itself, for a quick look-see at the IWM (proper visit later in the year, courtesy of Ashley). They only have 3 planes anyway.
Then, after we get booted out, get a meal and a drink somewhere, and do the raffle (donate a prize each? Any objections to it going towards my Johnny Wiseman memorial, due to be unveiled 14th July, on this occasion? Then, bugger off home (There didn’t seem to be a lot of interest in making a whole weekend of it, which is understandable.)
So, whose up for it? And any suggestions to improve upon this? I’ll head down whatever.

Moggy
Not a chance mate…we’re all under tin hats as well !
I heard it could be that new internet virus called…of all things…bloody !. aparrently in injects the word bl**dy numerous times in every line of text and can either be bl**dy usefull or a bl**dy nuisance
At least snapper will be easy enough to spot at the meeting…he’ll be wearing the sweatshirt with Hoo Bl**dy Ray printed on the front !
Seriously guys, enjoy the meet, I will get to one one day !

Moggy,
I think it’s safe to come out now. Seems like Snappers gone to refuel and re-arm. 🙂

It’s bloody well on bloody Saturday the bloody 8th and i’m bloody well not bloody well changing the bloody day again.
Bloody hell.
After all, the fallout from Bloody Sunday is STILL being felt.
And this, is stainless, not bloody cast rubbish. And Kings Lynn is a dump. My dad went to school there, and he agrees. Full of bloody fen-folk with webbed feet and gills.
By: Moggy C - 4th March 2003 at 15:09
I’m losing track
Mrs Moggy has now come up with a cast iron reason why I have to be in Kings Lynn on Saturday morning (In fairness to her, it is important).
So is it Saturday or Sunday?
Moggy

DIY??????? I can’t fault you on that one! The only DIY I enjoy is work with balsa wood!

Nearly a good point of view – but hey, close enough! I have only recently (as in, the last fortnight) been able to virtually guarantee Saturdays off, so I really should have known better. There are probably a few unable to come because of it. My fault entirely. Sunday is actually a better day for me anyway – it gets me out of DIY!

Hi Ya Snapper,
If you can stop the country eating, at the week-end, then maybe I can come out to play! The life of a truck driver? & YES it sucks!!! Unfortunately I have to work ever other Saturday.
How’s this for a point of view?
Best Aeroplane (wooden) MOSQUITO
Best Aeroplane (metal) Typhoon & Tempest V
I’ll look forward to more goodies!
TTFN,
Neilly

Work? I really should have considered teh Saturday / Sunday Thang before, shouldn’t I. Ah well, next time. To cheer you up, watch your inbox Neilly – had another batch arrive…..Though i’d rather have had more Typhoons than bloody Mossies.
By: neilly - 3rd March 2003 at 19:27
Hi All,
Sorry I can’t make this one, either. I gotta go to work
Cheers,
Neilly 😡

By: Tom_W - 3rd March 2003 at 19:03
WAHEY! the Mrs has given me the whole weekend off so I’ll be at Hendon for sure, now all I need to do is contact the feller at the RAFM about access to get some piccies of their MKII Tempest tailplane, they’ll come in VERY handy 😉
Tom 😉
By: Snapper - 3rd March 2003 at 18:41
Yes. Me too Ashley.
Well, i’ll head for Runnymede first, then Hendon. Just got to find something for the raffle. Roll on the 8th.
By: kev35 - 3rd March 2003 at 14:02
Ashley, I need to send you something. Can you enable private messaging please?

By: Ashley - 3rd March 2003 at 13:44
So is it all systems go for this Saturday (8th) then?
If I get to Hendon and you’ve all decided to stay in bed instead I’ll be well miffed…;)
By: Yak 11 Fan - 28th February 2003 at 22:14
At the moment I can’t see why I shouldn’t make the 8th
By: Snapper - 28th February 2003 at 19:16
Can’t. Bugger.
By: neilly - 28th February 2003 at 14:23

Who else?
AND DON’T FORGET – bring a raffle prize, any old junk from the loft will do.
