If the resturant turns out to be closed, why don’t we just meet outside it? I’ll probably be one of the first ones there, and i’ll be waiting outside the resturant anyway for someone to turn up. If someone arrives anytime between 10 and, say, 11/half 11, will we still be in the Claude Grahame-White hangar? Might have a walk over to the RAFM now actually!
Something in my dim and distant mind thinks there may be an anderson shelter in the museum, am I correct?
One and a half, I think – both in the BoB hall, one of them is under construction in a diorama and the other is half of one behind the computer faced woman in the blitz bit just further on – she still scares my brother ten years after his first encounter with her!
Changed my mind about the film now as watching it again, it looks as if it’ll be pants unless by some miracle they change the agility of the aircraft. Not quite sure why Brown is wearing yellow sunglasses either
The best music video i’ve ever seen – the song’s very good as well. Already watched it four times since you sent it me, and forwarded it to friends and family!
I’ll be easy to spot too – i’ll be wearing a blue polo shirt with my name on it, and doubt there’ll be many other Rob Langham’s around Hendon that day!
Be a bit hard as they’re very strict with who they let in there (my friend that lives next to it accidentally trespassed and was threatened with a £1000 fine), but my brother plays football for the local team and they play on the MIRA site, i’ll ask him if he’d be able to get a quick snap on his mobile phone
Interestingly (well, for anyone that’s into modern jets), the RAFM are replacing the mock up Typhoon in Milestones of Flight with a real one the week commencing 2nd December
Very local to me in Leicestershire – my best mate lives in the village next to MIRA. Wellington’s of 29 (I think, although that could have been Bruntingthorpe) OTU were based there. It’s a few miles east of Nuneaton, if you go down the A5 past Nuneaton you’ll go past it. See all manner of unusual vehicles going in and out of there – ones i’ve seen include Challenger 2 MBT’s, Saxon APC’s and Rolls Royce’s and other luxury cars with black tape over the bodywork to disrupt the shape of them. There’s also a Duxford connection with the control tower – the observation building on top of the Duxford control tower came from RAF Nuneaton, thanks to Dick Nutts who formerly owned the Douglas Boston
Good idea BlueRobin – XH668, there’s a meet up of quite a few guys off the forum at the RAF Museum on Saturday 1st December, would be a great way to meet some of us

Won’t the display boards be a give away? 😉 Have fun, I live literally down the road from Hendon but i’m lucky enough to be escaping ‘the smoke’ for a few days commencing tomorrow evening
