Hi Lisa

This looks like my sort of event so put me down for two tickets

If you already have the tickets it may be an idea to take them to RS and sell them there.

If your in any way a car or plane enthusiast and you don\'t go to this event I think your going to kick yourself when you see the pictures go up after as this really should be a great event and the weather forecast looking real good but that said even if it\'s raining there\'s still going to be lots going on.

Personaly as I like things that  speed if they have either wheels or wings attached I am really looking forward to this event and I\'m supprised more haven\'t come forward "yet"
 

Don\'t forget, You only have until tonight to get your discounted ticket sent out.

For those that dont know the Vulcan Bomber is a must to go and watch.  It has taken 15 years to get this plane air worthy and many millions of pounds have been raised to do so.  It was the last of our Delta wing \'V\' force nuclear bombers and the size and noise of the thing will make you smile alone.  This should be a really good day out for the whole family and there will be something for everyones taste.

Thanks Pete for your comments, Clive is really looking forward to this event.

Shame I could not get more people to go to this, still have half the tickets left at a cost to MRC!.

Maybe if we post pictures and tell everyone how good it was maybe we will have more interest next year.  


It is now to late to send any tickets or stand passes out as I can not guarantee that you will received them by Saturday now and I cannot get tickets sorted tomorrow as I work during the day.


If any one still wishes to attend the details for this event are //www.wingsandwheels.net, although you would have to pay the ticket price on the day which is £20.00 per adult.

I remember being at an air show when I was a kid and feeling the ground shake when the Vulcan took off :eek: the only thing that came close that would never be allowed today was a British GP in the 70\'s when they flew Concord down the main straight and when it got to paddock hill they pointed it straight up to the sky  AND FULL THROTTLE, the noise and smoke was awesome , sadly a sight never to be repeated

As far as I know this Vulcan is the only one in the world flying, really looking forward to this event rain or shine :)

You are indeed right Clive, it is the last one that will ever fly.  The display will be tame compared to the times I have seen it perform at the RAF airshows almost 20 years ago.  If you get to see the Chinook or Merlin helicopters perform then they too are an awesome sight.  The weather forcast I think should be ok. I am trying to find a camp site close by but they are all booked solid.  I will try somewhere on route.

Brett and I are really looking forwards to seeing the Vulcan fly :) We have been following all of the restoration story and we were hoping to see it fly at the RAF Cosford Air Show a few weeks back but it got cancelled 11th hour as it was still getting alot of its safety certificates for air shows etc. :(

We can really recommend the RAF Cosford Cold War Display too :) It\'s been open now for just over a year and houses all of the V bombers in one purpose built hangar, including a Vulcan of course :) Both the display and the design of the hangar have won numerous awards already!

W&W should be a great show and fingers crossed weather should be favourable! LOL! Highly unlikely we\'ll bring a RX to this one but looking forwards to seeing everyone elses and catching up with you all!

Packing the ear plugs as we speak for the Vulcan that is (not you lot)! :rollin
