Eh, wasn’t there talk of it happening this weekend (29th April), I am like soooo :confused: by all this now I have lost the plot…

I was also told that there was going to be special facilities in place for spotters and enthusiasts to come and get the best view…is this going ahead or not?

Can anyone confirm if this is the case or not, as I was planning a trip to LHR at weekend, but if it turns out its not coming, I wont go…lol. 😀

As per usual with BAA, the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. This poor organisation and changing of dates does nothing to help their reputation…

High Wycombe: 40 mins from London by train, I hear, and on the M40. I’m unfamiliar with whatever is on display at a working RAF Station: is there a Bomber Command HQ display of some sort that would be a side attraction?

I believe that High Wycombe is home to RAF Strike Command HQ, but not sure that it is an active air base – there are certainly no aircraft that come over us…but RAF Benson is not far away, near Oxford, so if you wanted you could get some pics of the Puma’s that operate out of there…

Ok, am thinking it is going to have to be day event as people are unlikely to want to have to fork out money for a hotel for the night, so we could probably hire the venue from 10am til 4pm, how’s that sound?

cloud 9, as its your idea, and you’ve nominated a venue with costs and facilities, why not hang out for that for starters and see what happens, provided you aren’t in a hurry? Do you want to suggest a date range?

Well the venue is closed during the summer months because it can only operate when the university is open, and also because of funding – or lack there of. However, I have been told that it can be made avaliable for sometime in June, so I need to get a date that is convievent to as many people as possible…

How’s bout w/c 12th June?

Holty, time enough, I suggest, to move on decisively and with good faith and goodwill. If you mean the new forum, it is
Planetalk .

Yeah, please try and keep posts relevant to the topic, otherwise this thread is going to die an ugly death, and nothing is going to get organised…

interesting idea, high wycombes bloody miles away from me though!!!

Well you could always fly to LHR and then get the underground/train to Wycombe, but some other people have already mentioned this as well…but it was only as a starting suggestion as I am currently living there and also the venue is very good value for what they charge!

If there is a severe objection to High Wycombe, maybe we could choose somewhere in the Midlands, so that it is easy for everyone to get to?

Anyone from that area know of good venues to hire?

I would just like to extend the praise that you have recieved so far for your work, they are exquisite and you should go into business by selling them and, as you have already mentioned, doing the odd commissioned piece…

Just out of interest, how long does it take you to do a painting…i.e A380 one?

If you are interested in taking your talent to the next level, please feel free to drop me a PM.

Once again, fantastic work and keep it up! 😀

lol. nice shots, they where taken at Wycombe Air Park where they not? I live about 15mins away from there!
