American Air Day at Duxford 17th Aug FREE ENTRY!!!

Adrian Worman · Post by **Adrian Worman** » Wed Aug 08, 12 11:48 am

I just got of the phone with a really nice bloke from the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and he offered us free admission to this years event

I have to give him a reasonably accurate number of cars we can exhibit so that he can get the relevant number of passes out in the post to me. The passes allow 2 per car maximum.
This was excellent last year and for those not able to make the Spitfire Day that just happened this is a fantastic opportunity.
The only stipulations for exhibitors is that we should be in place on the display area by 9.30am and may have to stay in place till 6pm, although like last year they play it by ear on the day so we can get off a bit earlier.
This is only because the display area is packed with visitors and US personnel all day and there is a safety issue. Fair request considering what they've offered I'm sure you'll all agree?
Friday the 17th August......... but I can't book the sun.......
So who's up for it then ???

I did nothin mate, the guy just pretty much put the words into my mouth and then agreed to do it, you'd have got the same result

Shame you can't make it tho.......... would've been nice to do something for you for a change

I got a good collection of cars going from Beds and Bucks already, let's get some MMA members to fight of the Phoords and Shivvys

Where abouts in Wales are you going to James?

Straight through and out the other side to Anglsey. Did it last year but took 14 hours from leaving Bedfordshire as most of it was spent hopping from one AA truck to the next

So fingers crossed this time

Not in the Demon I might add

Having a drive over to Anglsey later on in the Charger. Not far from where I live. Are you going there for a holiday?

Demon James · Post by **Demon James** » Thu Aug 09, 12 11:08 am

Yes mate, not far from Beaumaris. Is this an opertunity to meet a long distance member for a beer and

over ya car

Maybe I should follow the family in the Demon after all

Mind you with my holiday verses car history it's probably not wise

In order to get the free passes in plenty of time, I've got phone this guy at Duxford by Monday at the latest so he can get them in the post to me, then me out to you before Friday.
Dont worry I'll keep a few spares and wait at the gate if it all goes tits up

Got about 6 cars goin from my land and I know Pete and Jon are up for it, anybody else interested in this excellent and FREE event please contact me and let me know.
Be nice if we could put up a good show after the support they've just shown us
