BluBear Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Hi chaps, Who would be interested in going to the Shoreham Airshow this year? It's held on the 1st-2nd Sept.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 3, 2012 2. Administrators Posted August 3, 2012 Maybe - that's some line-up! Jabo Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted August 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 3, 2012 You need to ask?! Quote
BluBear Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 You need to ask?! Well, I would text you, but you never bloody reply!!! I've sent you an FB message, you might want to read that one Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 5, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 5, 2012 ~S~ Christoff sir, I would love to go as long as I'm not too F..ked up That's right at the end of my treatment program. Were you thinking one day only or one day and one evening ? I live around 40 miles from Shoreham so B&B at mine is on offer if required ~S~ P. Quote

Were you thinking one day only or one day and one evening ? I live around 40 miles from Shoreham so B&B at mine is on offer if required ~S~ P. I sincerely hope you are well enough to join us Mr P! If there are a few of us, then I'd be happy to make an evening of it too. There are plenty of eateries around there, being close to Brighton and all. Who knows, perhaps we should have a jolly good thrash in the city?! It's only about 70 miles for Fen and I, and the journey is normally pretty straight forward. It would be an honour to experience Chez Painless though! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 7, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 7, 2012 ~S~ BB old chap, OK then! We can sort out the details a little nearer the time. If we want to have a sensible Pimms or pink gin, perhaps even a small Bacardi we will need to park the vehicles up for the night. ~S~ P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 24, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 24, 2012 ~S~ Chaps, So it's only a week away ! Time to decide on a plan ? Tom, you said you could only go on a particular day ? Who is up for it ? ~S~ P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted August 26, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 26, 2012 Sunday is looking logistically like the preferred of the two, but if the weather makes Saturday the better option well logistics will just have to go out of the window! Current weather forecast look like it'll be cloudy with 10-15mph westerly winds on both days but given our climate of late, who bloody knows! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 26, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 26, 2012 Right oh then, lets make a final decision on Thursday Quote
BluBear Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 Weather looking good for both days so far. Looking forward to it! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 29, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 29, 2012 ~S~ Chasps I'm good for Sunday if that helps Tom out . My M8 John is thinking of comming along with me ~S~ P. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 29, 2012 2. Administrators Posted August 29, 2012 I'm out I'm afraid guys, got too much on to be able to make this, Jabo Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted August 30, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 30, 2012 Sorry to hear that Nick, but understood. We'll take some snaps for ya! Sunday is still the looking the more viable plans wise for me - everyone else? Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 30, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 30, 2012 ~S~ Tomason, What time were you thinking of arriving ? ~S~ P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted August 30, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 30, 2012 Flying starts at 1030... be a bugger to miss anything eh?! Quote
BluBear Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Sounds like it's Sunday then chaps? It's good to get there for gates opening or there abouts. As Tom says, flying starts early at Shoreham. So, who else is in other than Fen, Painless and myself? Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 31, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 31, 2012 Rightyho, will be there around 9am Sunday morning. Will ring you using my miniature portable telecommunications device! Cheers Mick Quote
BluBear Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Splendid! We'll see you there matey. It's unlikely I'll be able to stay too late in the evening after the show now due to other commitments and work the following morning. But I may be able to throw a sausage or two down my neck haha Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted September 1, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 1, 2012 No problem Christoff, I'm now thinking about getting back so I can watch the Spa GP on Iplayer,hopefully before I hear the result Cheers, Mick. Quote
