VIP visit to the BBMF at RAF Coningsby
Just testing the water here.
It just so happens that I have a contact very high up at Coningsby and also in charge of the BBMF. We are working on the idea of a privileged club visit to the base some time next Summer, to get up close to the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and have a personal guided tour by one or more of the pilots. There is also a vague notion of getting up close to a Typhoon or two, but I'm trying not to push my luck! There will no doubt be some sort of donation involved and no date is fixed yet. This is just to ask in the broadest terms who would be up for it?

Definitely interested. Would it be an entry requirement to turn up on a bike? It's just that an elderly friend of mine would be very excited about such a visit but is not really up to being a pillion!

I'm not in the business of excluding anyone BRD, just because they can't attend on a Monster; however you will miss out, if I manage to pull off a photoshoot with the bikes posed in front of one or more of the aircraft... Though I must stress that the whole idea is just an embryo and I have no idea how the visit will pan out.
Thanks for the almost viral response guys. I take that as a big thumbs up and so will push it on further and find out some dates... We will be pretty much at the mercy of the teams display diary with that, so watch this space...
