Anywhere else in the local vicinity worth a quick look?
DS
unfortunately Metheringham visitors centre doesnt open till Easter weekend, otherwise you could’ve made a dash over there.. I should think though by the time you’ve watched the taxi-run, wandered round EK and maybe Woodhall it’ll be almost time for the BBMF lot to entertain you.. 😀
Neil
Would it be worth popping over to Woodhall Spa between EK closing and opening time at Conningsby? It doesn’t sound like there is much of the airfield left, but what about buildings/memorials etc? Anyone have any more info or photos.
Cheers
DS
A cup of tea at the Petwood Hotel could be a good idea? nothing much of the airfield to see, some of the accomadation site is preserved at Thorpe Camp but doent open till after easter, and theres the 617 Sqn Memorial in Woodhall too.. Neil

Hmmmm Moto Guzzi…always fancied the Californian, ended up with a Harley Wide-Glide, loved it to bits but had to sell three weeks ago…still in mourning
thats a shame.. sold my last bike about a year ago and decided had to get another one this year before I spent the money on a digital SLR 😮 the camera can wait… 😀
Neil
sorry to ruin any expectations of decent weather this year, but I’ve just bought a ‘bike so thats put the kybosh on the Summer!!! expect frogs n plagues of locusts any minute now… 😀 😮
Neil
I’m planning to be heading south for this event.. especially as Steve Young promised beer on another thread.. 😉
Neil

Neil
You two are both going to Brooklands too? Blimey, it’s a proper ‘historic’ outing then. 😉
See you there gents. Reckon I’ll be buying you both a beer after that comment…

but back to the thread… 😀 nothing in there for the single, childless, beer drinking persons amongst us! 😉
Neil

The past few times that I’ve been to East Kirkby the pilot has been either Rick Groombridge or Jacko Jackson. Does Mike Chatterton still do taxi runs?
Rob
