We should get a stand-alone thread going on this. 2017 Legends sounds like a worthy target.

 

[Airframes]

I'll get one started Andy. I've been 'speaking' to Vic, via e-mails, and he's keen on coming in 2017, so I said I'd post something.

Are there dates set yet for the Flying Legends 2017? Never too early to start planing.

 

[Airframes]

it's always on the second weekend in July Glenn. The dates for 2016 are already announced, so it would be fairly simple to plan for 2017.

As it stands now, the cheapest flight from Prince George to Vancouver is 300$CAN, Vancouver to London is 1050$CAN(9.5hrs non-stop flight) for a flight in July 2016, per person. According to my bank account, the missus can't go yet. I'll miss her.

Well Geo, if you start driving your grader there now with the wife beside you, you should make it in time.

Ah, 'beating a track to Duxford', eh ?

I hear you Karl!

Even though I told the wife that there are no malls or ladies shops in England she seems to be quite interested in the trip. I may have to charter an Airbus for the flight home.

I texted my wife about it yesterday from work and she thought I was kidding. She was very happy when I told her that I was not and is all for it!

 

[Crimea_River]

Well, maybe there's a wives' outing that needs to be organized.

 

[Airframes]

I think the wives would love an outing to Edinburgh - and it's so far from Duxford, there wouldn't be any hassle for the boys !!!

 

[T Bolt]

I was letting my wife read the last few pages trying to get her excited about a trip to England any you post that last one Terry and get me into trouble

 

[vikingBerserker]

This has real potential.

 

[Airframes]

Oops ! Sorry Glenn !
Tell your good lady wife that I will personally compose a list of the best shops in Cambridge, which is only 11 miles from DX, or, if preferred, a list of London shops, roughly an hour's train ride away.

 

[T Bolt]

She's not really mad Terry, she's even talking about bringing the kids along (18 19 by then) and try camping there.

 

[Airframes]

Great stuff Glenn. Let me know if you decide on camping, and I'll see what I can arrange in the way of tents and equipment, or maybe see if there's a caravan for hire on the site. Although there are permanent caravans and a few holiday chalets, privately owned, the site is a 'touring site', so there aren't tent hire facilities, but i'm sure we could organise something, somehow !

 

[T Bolt]

Great Terry. Our family use to do quite a lot of tent camping but it's been a few years.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I've just read the last few comments out to Hil who chuckled all the way through. As far as we're concerned, this little outing is already scheduled, it's just a matter of waiting for the flights for 2017 to kick in then my personal tour operator (Hil) will get things sorted.
