TFC Open Evening

In response to a number of emails and a previous thread may we remind all the Friends who view and post on this forum that The Fighter Collection open evening in Hangar 2 is on the 14th November, online booking information will be appearing shortly on the website.

Thank you for the large amount of interest that has been shown in the idea of an open evening, and we look forward to seeing you on the night.

I’ll echo Robbo’s comments on this event.

One of these days, when my six numbers come up, I’ll buy a house halfway between Duxford, Old Warden and Hendon, with good public transport access to all three, and plenty of bedrooms for visiting forum friends to stay.

Surely not…

We are a little disappointed that our surprise guest’s cover has been blown, and hope that this has not spoilt anyone’s expectations of the evening.
We can however confirm that Alex Henshaw has graciously accepted our invitation to join us at the open evening, and has come out of “retirement” especially for all the “friends”.

OK, this is being really picky, BUT…

Who could you pick as a better guest than Alex Henshaw? I just can’t believe that anyone will be disappointed by his presence!

Or am I being over-anal with a little bit of tongue in cheek posting?
(I’ve just realised what I’ve written – I’ll leave it in the hope that at least someone has a good giggle at my expense!)

I am very grateful Janie; hopefully I will be able to thank you in person on the day. For some reason I could not (indeed still cannot) find this page on the site from TFC’s homepage.

I understand that Alex Henshaw will be speaking at the event.

Tremendous. Any idea when booking information will be placed on the website?

BTW here are a few more details from the TFC website:

I am also delighted to let you know that a Friends event is in the planning. The Fighter Collection will be inviting all Friends to an open evening in Hangar No 2 at Duxford on a Sunday evening between 5 pm and 8 pm sometime in late October / early November. The event will be open to all Friends and their families and will include a tour of the Collection by some of the pilots, engineers and volunteers. This is your chance to get close to the aircraft and talk to the people who fly them and maintain them.

A buffet will be provided and all Friends attending will be able to take part in a free raffle to win a selection of TFC merchandise (polo shirts and baseball caps) and Limited Edition prints.

A small charge will be necessary to cover expenses for the event, expected to be in the region of £15 for each person attending. There will be no charge to enter the Museum to attend the event.
