Thanx Dave but I can only afford a box brownie!!!

The rest are deemed too big to post…anyone able?

I should be there – baby allowing!

Congrats Bruce and it will be great to see you again…need to talk Spitty!!

I trust he is devilishly handsome in keeping with the other CockpitFest exhibitors! 😮 😀

So the rest of the Forum, who is coming other Mark, Dave B and Mr Poe and Bertie and me?! :rolleyes:

obviously the Hurricane Mark!! 😉

I will have Bertie helping me with the display!! (Bertie is my BoB dummy!)

You could of course come to the event at Newark i.e Cockpitfest which is a FlyPast sponsored event and enjoy climbing into a few cockpits and seeing some of the BBMF
for considerably less money and then give a donation to charity to make up the difference. The concept of paying to get into the IWM and then paying again to get into ‘Area 51’ doesn’t quite work for me . Maybe they could show people round for a ten pound donation per person and give the money to a worthy cause.

Agreed Dave, IWM has lost its way as far as I am concerned, the beauty of Duxford was that all hangars were accessible including those that house private warbirds. For operators to have their own hangars using valuable real estate on this national treasure and we are not allowed to view without a big fee is very sad. I thought no one was allowed in due to the dreaded H&S?

That aside, still love Duxford, just keep it access all areas
