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.

The track / runway is huge. Only been there once and enjoyed myself a little. It's amazing how fast that runway ends at 150!

It's close enough to make it worth looking at coming along. Not sure what else I have on so will have to decide closer to the event.

as i said on the other side i'm game if i can get the car done on the sat

Hi gents I have an update on the post code for the start of the convoy.

Start point KFC car park WS28TJ 9am WALSALL

Thread Updated - the largest gathering of V8's since they were at Longbridge apparently.

We now have the option to do high-speed runs down the runway if that'll tempt any more?

when he told me on the phone it was you that sprung to mind!

High speed runs down a runway you say.... Hmmm. So long as
a) I'm not hungover
b) I'm not stopped from going by anyone else
c) The world hasn't ended

then I think I might try and pop along.
