You mentioned earlier that you would be there in the morning, Greg, so we are heading straight there to meet you around 9:30-10 am that morning. Then we will head on to Elvington (which closes by 4 pm).
Another BDO (Big Day Out) for the intrepid ISMWAT (International Scale Modellers Walk-Around Team)!

Cheers,

Have a great journey, we'll see you on the 5th!

[TeeELL]

See you 12.00 on the 6th at The Petwood Hotel. Safe journey. (At least you will be familiar with driving on the correct side of the road).

[Gregers]

Just a heads-up. SYAM are now on their winter opening times. Opening time is at 10am.

All the best

That has just answered the question I was pondering over tea tonight - whether Paul was this side of the pond yet!

He is indeed, and the three amigos are currently down at Donna Nook, looking out for the Northern Lights

It was great to meet up with you folks today. Hope you enjoyed the museum.

All the best

A visit to East Kirkby on Tuesday resulted in an unexpected bonus: the Lancaster was pulled from the hanger and placed on the apron, followed by the Mosquito which then carried out an engine start and run-up in the morning sunshine







Throughout our visit, we were overflown by several Typhoons, heading back into Coningsby We in turn headed to Coningsby, via lunch at the Petwood Hotel in the company of TeeELL, and enjoyed a very interesting tour of the BBMF hanger...
