YES! There is a small museum on site I believe?

I believe this is the case

I was considering joining FOSA to get the lowdown - it's only £5 for the year and you get a badge!

I would be up for a recce if we have a bit of decent weather for the drive 😉

A badge ! Oo yes I would love another one to go with my 25 yards backstroke badge.

Motorbikin'....Dat Dah....motorbikin'....Dat Dah.....

Recce sounds good

[Jabo 671]

Right then, post-lockdown dogz outing - sounds like splendid plan.

Might need to be at quite short notice with the winter weather coming on. 

[Jabo 671]

Taken the liberty of updating your first post Chris.

When I go to events like these I aim to arrive around 9am, even though flying starts at around midday.
just beats the worst of the traffic. I tend to grab a burger a nd a coffee on site for brekkie.

I'd love to come guys, but I tink I will have to wait till new year to make the final decision, as I have a few hurdles to clear first.
Worst case for me I can stay with my Aunt in Biggleswade. but it is a bit of a journey from there.

At least she has a Hot tub. lol

Although her Step son is a total bellend. so its decisions decisions.

We've had several Dogz in attendance at every Legends since 2007, so  hopefully we'll do the same again next year. We've not been getting to Duxford that early as the access is reasonably straight-forward but this may need to change a bit at Sywell where country lanes seem to be the order of the day. Breakfast and coffee are always on the roster!

[Painless 636]

Yes, our individual morning routines are essential to a steadfast performance on the day whether it be coffee, tea, full English and/or a quick rub down with the Radio Times.

OK so I will most likely be coming, providing it all goes ahead etc... got my gate pass, just need to make the bookings and buy a ticket.

Well, if traffic queues may be a problem I will bring the Beast....I could always stick someone on the back, the tail fairing does come off....I have no issue with riding down the offside of queues

[Jabo 671]

First one there gets the beers in Sid - you know the rules...

[Sid 430]

Absolutely...but if you're not there....you don't get one.....

[Jabo 671]

Funnily enough, that occurred to me right after I posted.

The “fanny pad” is mine !

Red Lion booked for 2 nights; Fenrir and Dadda-Fen in attendance!

Some aircraft attendee news, could make for the rare sight of T-bolt old and new!

Can't remember the last time I saw an A-10.

[Jabo 671]

That would be coooooooool

It appears that the A-10 team have now removed Sywell from their schedule. Possible covid travel restrictions from the US or worse, the cancellation of Legends. We'll see. 

[Jabo 671]

I think travel restrictions are the main concern at present, but I suspect Bunter's speech tomorrow will give us some better ideas regarding the feasibility of Legends - looks like a lot of people will have been offered the jab by then at least. 

[Crash 699]

Is there any update on the show?

[BluBear 609]

Nothing as yet Dave

[Crash 699]

Maybe not this year then . Next year should be AWESOME to make up for the missing airshows!

[Jabo 671]

At least it's not off yet - if the covid cases keep on as they are, Legends would be about two weeks after the legal restrictions on gatherings are removed.

[Crash 699]

I havent given up hope just yet.....
