Good job Neil.

Not sure which day I’ll be going on , but let me know and we can meet up and I can initiate you in the traditional Tim Horton’s coffee and breakfast bagel before we set off. :p

Hi All,

I’m an ex-pat Brit who lives in Burlington, so I can vouch for Bill’s comment.

I went to the show last year and the transport was very well organised. As you approach the airport that’s sign-posted off the QEW, you’re directed to a large field where a fleet of school buses are waiting to take you into the airfield. The buses run in and out continually so you won’t get stranded.

Renting a car is the best bet and the hotel should have the contacts for you.

The only thing I noticed about Hamilton and Duxford’s displays is that there are sometimes long gaps of time between displaying aircraft, but thats the only niggle and it’s not really a big deal!

Maybe we can all meet up, just pack a Union Jack!

Flying ours in Canada!

Aah, I see. Wonder when the detachment proper starts.

Fascinating stuff.
To add to Walrus’ memories, I did two tours of RAFG as a service policeman. After dispatching the Jaguars and Tornadoes on their one-way trips, we would,apparently, escort what dependants were left to the UK bound ferries and THEN return to what was left of our bases to assist with absentees and deserters-a euphimism for firing squads – cheerful stuff eh?

Got my ticket online.

Will there be separate motor-cycle parking?

Looking foward to it already!

Again another thread knocking the Police.
Maybe some of you should ask to go out with these ‘scruffy oiks’ for a night, walk a mile in their shoes and all that.
Lincoln 7, when you served, the world was a different place. I wonder how many crack addicts with HIV you had to deal with.
But coppers doing their job never makes the news so why should I be suprised that an ill-informed few pounce on the things that go wrong and critisize people doing a job that they themselves are incapable of doing.
After twenty-three years, this sort of thing shouldn’t bother me anymore but everyone has a breaking point.
Don’t worry, I won’t be checking this thread again.
