Wings & Wheels 29/8 - Read

Postby Toltec » Wed Jul 01, 2015 6:36 pm

This year is going to be the last that we will see XH558 in flight so there are a few chances to see it combined with car or at least vehicle related shows.

29th & 30th August Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold http://www.wingsandwheels.net/

Chance for an early run and meet?

Dunsfold's always a good show & they'll provide a club stand if there's a few of us. The "wheels" side of it is run by Brooklands Museum, talk to them & there could be runway runs on offer.

I'll give them a call tomorrow, see what the situation is and what numbers and deadlines they need.

Dunsfold have space on the Saturday, the Red Arrows are on that day anyway, a full stand is 20m square and enough for 20 cars. They can do a half stand for a smaller group.

Speaking to them I got the impression they charged for a stand, but what I got in an email just said that the drivers and up to three passengers would get in for £15 each. Now the closing date is the 15th July, though they will still sort a stand out if there is space after then.

The other interesting thing that was mentioned in the emailed details was doing a display of the cars by driving around the track, that gets you free tickets apparently! I'll give them a call back on that...

"so, we get to drive our cars around the track and you give us free tickets?"

The uncertainty aside can I have a show of hands please to see if stand is going to fly?

No barbecues on a stand...
