Thanks for that smiffy, I'll leave it with you.

My in-laws live just outside Grimsby, so I know so fun routes into Lincolnshire we can use

Just opened a dialogue with Squadron Leader Mark Discombe, soon to take charge of the BBMF and known colloquially as "Disco".

We should be able to establish a date and format that fits in with this years busy display schedule..... Quite exited as it happens..

Will keep you up to date, but please don't expect too much until after the weekender.. (Less than three weeks away.... Jeez still not booked?... Pull yer finger out!!)

Mr Gazza · 18-04-2018, 05:11 PM

Disco is happy to show us round and have a special day at Coningsby.
This will be a weekday. Not possible on a Saturday or Sunday.

Who's still interested?

Sorry this has to be on a weekday, which I appreciate does move the goalposts!

Nice to still see names going down though. I will let this run over the weekend and see if we get some more names down.

I will ask Disco on Monday to see if we can get a mid-late June date, so folk have a chance to give notice for a day off work.

Definitely not doing this on a Friday though, the Friday afternoon traffic is ridiculous!!

Gazza - I wouldn't mind tagging along dependant upon date (mid week not a problem generally).
