Midlands Meet - Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds Sunday 14th November 2010

Jake · 21st October 2010, 16:18

Having just confirmed with Bruntingthorpe today, I am pleased to confirm a meeting at Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds & Cold War Jet Collection on Sunday 14th of November 2010.

This will, I hope be a good gathering in an interesting location. There are some terrific aircraft there and hopefully some good photo opportunites and lots of space.

More information on Brunthingthorpe can be found here:

http://www.bruntingthorpe.com/aircraft-museum.htm

Also, I've arranged for a Parade Lap at the end of the meet around their high speed circuit.

Cost wise, it's £5 per paying adult (kids under 16 are free) will try to arrange a discount (will be depending on the numbers attending I think they'll say!)

It's been some time since I have been there, so awaitng some info about amenities.

To keep it simple I am going to arrange this as an unoffical meet, because of the lap element.

I am aiming to get there for around 1030 - I believe the Convoy being lead by Wg Cdr Woolleysox is arriving around 11ish

Drop your name down if interested.

Apologies and really sorry to hear that

Had an e-mail today from the Director of Bruntingthorpe, just confirming a few details. He has confirmed that as far as facilities are concerned, there are loos and that's it.

What I'd like to find out is if after the meet and parade lap, people would be interested in driving to a nearby location if a bite to eat - buffet style event was arranged?

Best,

Jake

Hi Colin,

That sounds like a great idea! Will look into a few options and let you all know!

A buffet is ok at a wedding etc when it is free, but up for anything.
