Morgar3…welcome to the board 🙂

I think there are actually quite a few members here who are Friends of Duxford…there are others who live too far away to visit Duxford on a regular basis to make joining worthwhile. I am well aware of all the activities of the Friends of Duxford as not only are my parents both members, my father is a DAS member working with the map collection, and I work for the Imperial War Museum.

I have made some very good friends here through the forum – not just v/t but r/t too…and organising something like I am proposing for September is my way of giving something back to my friends…

With all due respect, a forum get-together is more to me than just an event, or opportunity to look behind the scenes at Duxford like FOD, but a gathering of friends.

P.S. Yes, Robert’s talk and film show are both excellent – as enjoyed by the Flypast motley crew at the first forum get-together at Duxford in January 🙂 And, yes, the north side tour is fascinating – after two years working on the north side at Duxford the buildings and their contents remain as fascinating and spine tingling to me now as they were when I first started 🙂

The date is flexible Damian…I can make it the Sunday 🙂

On my original post I forgot to mention a trip to the Red Lion at Whittlesford afterwards…I have not sampled the mixed grill (or as Moggy knows it, assorted roadkill on a plate) but the rest of the menu is pretty tasty 🙂

P.S. Mine’s a gin and tonic :p

P.P.S Mine is obviously a gin and tonic as I have just had to edit this in order to spell Damien’s name correctly :p

P.P.P.S This is the 2nd time I have tried to correct this due to BTpoxyopenworld…grrrrrrrrrrr:p
