I think the numbers were down due to the holiday season..

It was a shame that it was expensive - £14IIRC - merely for a look at cars on the track. Might have encouraged more people to come if there was more to see.

I did spend a good lunch break at the air museum - just down the road - £2 to get in plus another £1.50 for a guided tour of the inside of a Vulcan. Cheap as chips!

Bye for now

You kept that quiet on the day - I'd have enjoyed a trip (if I'd known about the place). :(

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

We tried for a photo-call there one year as they had an Argosy called Elan. Nice thing is though Dave, the Vulcan ain't going no place!

Ha! I had a tour inside a pregnant plane (you know what i mean) It was free, but only because somebody left the door open. I had a tour on my own,then the pilot returned and kicked me out! All i remember is that there was a pile of beer crates in the plane! (must be Brits) :cheers:

Vulcan Bomber? Next time anyone's in Norfolk (Snetterton/Hethel visit), you can see one at Norwich's Aviation Museum...

Also flying tit... And an amalgamation of the two.

Just depends on which Squadron or shift you were on.

More like, what happened to the stand...
...it fell on G's car, scratching the paint work :-(

And a child decided to peel off the top of the rubber seal off the top of my door, so some Sikaflex to do. Not bothered though, it needed doing anyway as the rubber had perished.

Shamelessly lifted from the SELOC August newsletter -


"This year the outstanding sight that greeted you in the car park was the M100 Elans colour co-ordinated parking!"


Well done you guys! :clap:
