i was thinking it might be fun to meet up with some of you sometime. was thinking that maybe we'd all organise a certain day to go to an airshow or museum together, have a little gathering. duxford is always popular, several airshows this summer, anyone think they might be interested?

Duxford is cool. Count me in.

OTH - I live in Surrey, so Fairoaks is pretty cool too. Not quite so many fighters there, but a nice bacon sarny on sunday mornings.  :aok

bacon butties with a decent pint are worth a visit! :D

reason i ask is that duxford have their big ole airshows over the summer, and im thinking it would be a great day out to have a little european mini-con at duxford, see the museum then have great seats for the show itself:aok

would be really great if we could get a group of 20 or so guys together:)

I'm in!

From my calendar...

Duxford Flying Legends: 8/9 July

Farnborough: 17 - 23 July

Beltring W&P: 19 - 23 July

Wings'n Things: 6 Aug

Redhill: 20 Aug

If I get the first round, then I'll be completely sloshed by the time No. 20 arrives! Assuming each has to buy a round on arrival.  ;)

depends on what other people want to do. there are multiple ticket options, including the goldpass, which costs quite a bit more, but you get a VIP enclosure right next to the planes and i think you also get to go walkabout and take a look at all the planes before they all go up.

i dunno what people want to do and how much they want to spend, but i might be tempted to spend the extra cash.

there are 2 days, i was thinking the saturday, easier for most:aok

depends on what other people want to do though, im quite happy to do what everyone else wants to do

How much for one of these tickets?
I'd consider it.

i think it's 70 quid for the gold pass, gets you a ton of stuff, VIP enclosure, plane walkabout, i think early entry to museum, lots of stuff.

if you want the buffet lunch too it's 91 pounds, but i think i'd rather go with a bacon buttie or two from the burger shop:aok

Ouch!

Then again it's once a year or so. If we get a few more, or join up with another crowd I'm in. I'll try and find some others to come along.

Hmmmm....

Is there a secret AH handshake or something? LOL

I was puzzled at first, so I went searching and found that the Bacon Buttie is a type of English "health food".

Quote
Heat a large frying pan: melt and heat the dripping.

Add the bacon, watching out for fat spitting out at you. Fry until nice and crisp then remove from the pan.

Add the butter to the pan.

Fry the slices of bread on one side in the fat and butter for a minute or two only, just so that they soak up the juices.

Place two pieces of bread, fried side up, on the plates.

Build up the buttie with the bacon and sliced fresh tomatoes. Season with pepper. Pour over any other juices from the pan, top with the other slice of bread, fried side down, and serve.

The Scots version is even more ... 'interesting'.

Do as above then coat in batter and deep fry. Serve with chips.
