Terry, the Feb/March thing is out for me but do keep me posted on other plans. I'm keen to come over again at some point and would love to meet up with you lot.

Yep, the first Duxford show is on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May, and celebrates the 70th anniversary of D-day, with bomber, fighter and transport aircraft that would have been seen over Normandy, along with related ground shows. I believe there is also to be a march-past from The Parachute Regiment - so Karl and I really should be there !
Anyone interested, let me know as, if there are enough bodies, a 'Group' ticket might be possible.
Thank you Airframes...that seems eminently doable so thanks once more for the heads-up. If it is a cert...I'll do my utmost, so let's say I'm a more or less definite.Nice one Nobby!
There's about four or five of us planning to do another trip to The Yorkshire Air Museum, on the former Halifax bomber base at Elvington, just outside York, in either late February or mid March, although nothing has yet been arranged firmly.
Two will be travelling up from Hampshire, me and my mate from Cheshire, and hopefully Karl (rochie) from Teesside. The plan is to stay over night, and maybe have a squizz around York the following day. Looking at suitable accommodation at the moment, and an old coaching inn at Helmsley, where I used to stay when on business in the area, might be a good venue, although it's about 27 miles north from Elvington.
Also planning another trip to the RAF Museum at Cosford, plus, of course, a couple of air shows this year.
I'll post here when I know more about who can go where, when etc.
Njaco...oh how I genuinely love your American hospitality. Won't talk football as Superbowl night/morning beckons... But thank you for the invite; after getting such a fantastic diet of North American aircraft courtesy of the interweb, some of the big events have always made me think that one day an American airshow is a must. I'll stay dialled in and confirm when you chaps have finally decided. Love to meet you.Nob, let us know when you are in the Colonies. Maybe we can arrange a get-together.
And you guys get pics!!!!!
Very cool, Nob. Marcel is coming over in May so its something we do when we can! I'm even more amazed at how a conglomeration of nuts, bolts and bits of plastic allow me converse with the world!
I'll keep you informed Nobby, and i think the DX show in May is almost a certainty.
Cheers,
Terry.
Oh, and the Greek CAA have re-opened the AIB case on Icarus ..................
Couldn't find a place closer to Botany Bay I guess eh?
