Title: My British Friends I Need Help
Post by: BFOOT1 on June 20, 2019, 12:56:24 PM
So, I’ll be traveling to England from August 3-6 as part of my European vacation. I need some advice on where I should stay. I’ve narrowed it down to London, Duxford, the Kent area, or south of London near Tangmere.

Second, would any of you be interested in getting together for a beer at a pub?

You should stay at Buckingham Palace. I hear they'll let almost anyone in. They have pie.

I think I’m looking at staying at/near Bognor Regis. What are your thoughts on that?

If you want to meet real English people goto the North West of England.

You will get stabbed in London.

Kent is full of people like Bruv :old:

any reason you want to stay in Bognor?   

You can get to Tangmere very easily from there.

I would second Tangmere.  https://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/

We went there perhaps 6 years ago?  Interesting place.  Put together a bit like a school project - and very well done.  I have wanted to go back but have not made it yet.


An other place to think about is:  https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/

I think that it is just under a 2 hour drive from Bognor.  There is a LOT there.  Their aviation section alone is fantastic.

Also, I think that Stonehenge is not too far away - we spent a couple of hours there years ago, bucket list stuff.


Most of all have fun!!   :cheers:

Thanks everyone!

I’ll be in London one night, but I’ve always had an urge to stay near the coast. Some of my favorite RAF fighter squadrons flew out of that area during the BOB, and I just want to visit the area and take it all in.
