At waddington there is a grandstand seating area for those who wish to pay extra, but a family this just put extra costs on the day out.

Yes tents are a pain and without tripping over the guy lines too!

We parked the car at duxford next to american air museum near front so sitting by that with windbreak up seats out in nobodys way.

But it’s first come first served to the front of the fence when they tie there chairs up there worse than the germans with there beach towels!

easy…..have both!!:D

What is the spit made of?

Have you thought of becoming an MP ? You could put all your ‘expensive’ trips out on expenses![/QUOTE]

Lol. David your funny!

It seems i have opened a can of worms here so the modderator please feel free to deleate this post as it seems i have offended several people & newark air museum, also delete myself if you see fit.!

That was NOT my intention just to highlite the fact some require a paint job etc.

No im not going to do the paper work for the cadets. lol……………….

wv-903

yes maybe i came across a bit harsh there are some nice tidy examples in the hanger but im using the lightning here again it’s rough looking!

I have read that it’s next for painting which is great but would it have been next if somebody does not say anything?

Im nobodys nodding dog im not gonna bulls**t it up to make it look fantastic i was giving MY opinion, i also understand the problems with spraying i do work in a mechanical enviroment where similar work is done but im not saying spray it brush/roller paint it?

Take a look at lusty lindy correct me if im wrong but was this not hand painted some years back ie not sprayed? and it looks v good.

I know the staff are volunteers and work hard with what they have i can respect that i did speak to one guy about the vulcan he was a great help, but all im trying to say is “TIDY THEM UP”

A lot of folk who come to a museum will have no idea if it has the correct markings or paint scheme and will not care less but will prefer to look at a tidy example not one that looks like it’s spent 6 months under water.Lol.

Newark i look forward to coming back and taking another look when time permits and your hard work has been done pp.

Did you miss the aircraft in the hangars? Don’t remember any of those looking unkempt! Are you seriously suggesting Air Cadets painting the aircraft with ‘scrounged’ paint?? I think your living in the 1970’s !

Lol yes i saw them in the hangers that was the 5% that had paint and yes let the cadets paint them they can do no worse than the very tired aircraft outside!

Whats wrong with the 70’s ? lol…………..

The £21.00 gate admission was a bit steep for a poor show however the cheek of me i said to the guy selling tickets “any discount for raffars members”?, he said id charge you just £10.00 great and im no member!

The show was poor by the years past standards for the crowd of 70,000 so i heard on the tannoy it really could have done with less long pauses more vintage aircraft.

But im off to legends this sat/sun plenty of vintage there.!
