Coming soon to a thread near you

I think this is the same weekend as the Reading festival, so I may have to reluctantly miss out on this years wings and wheels.

Which is a damn shame as for me it's my favourite event of the year. Even the kids love it, although that's more to do with the fairground rides than the cars and air displays!

When is it Ross?

I believe its the 26-27th of august

I'm def down for this one, especially the vmax

If its not till august then blimey i might have some spare money by then, so i'm interested.

Not bothered with the V.Max though, after seeing it last year it looks like alot of bother just for a couple of blats down the runway...

Numbers by Friday please

V-max not happening, too late to apply, sorry :(
Yes, 27th August. all on site by 9am or your not getting in :rolleyes:

There's no way on gods green earth I'll be alive by 9am on Monday morning, let alone have the tent and gazebo all packed up, and have my head clear of any intoxicating substances from the night before :(

Will be the first wings and wheels I've missed in a few years. Great event, hope you folks all have a great time :thumb:

5) Alexis - if he can get out of bed and drive 10 mins up road for 8.45am

Is that it
Please can I have you full home addresses (P.M. me) and the number of passengers that will attend alongside your+car's free entry as they will need to pay for a ticket. I will send off for all attendees tickets on Monday, but if you have passengers you'll have to contact the organisers directly to pay for these. let me know numbers and I'll co-ordinate that from this end so tickets get to you in time. I will NOT be personally collecting tickets for late comers this year, sorry.

I can't believe there are only 4 (sorry 5 IF you include Marco )

Make that 3 when Alexis has to cancel as he's another wedding invite!!

This is one of the best events in the calendar imho.

Gutted I can't make it this year (as are my kids too!)

I am there I've got the 6th Wedding on the Saturday, so screw you

Do I understand this is the Dunsfold event on August 26th and 27th?

I'll be on the NuerburgRing 'road trip' that weekend, but I thought I'd query which of the many "Wings and Wheels" events was being discussed.

Ross,
I will be there with my 93 year old father-in-law; he sold his own business last week, and will still be acting as a sales rep for the company he sold out to

I assume we need to be there by nine.

Tim

Dunsfold W&W

Yeah, I thought so, I saw the signs when collecting and dropping off parts from/for Coupe #2 at NBA Sportcars.

Any updates on this? I'd love a runway run but understand that's probably out of the question now

Runway run is out of the question now.

If you gave your details to Pondman you should receive your entry pass very shortly, mine arrived this morning.

Marmite, are you interested in coming? If so please PM me ASAP!
Regards, Ross.

lucky i told the mrs about this

im an usher at my best mates wedding that day!!!

that would have been an issue

Sadly i will have to pull out of this..

have fun and take some good photos!!

There's a surprise Marco

^^^

Do I take it there's a spare ticket going Marco?!

Nah! You don't think he gave me his details as well do you Dan?
Why are still tempted to limp over

So he didn't apply for one all along. Surprise surprise

I'd love to be there Ross, you know that. Thing is, by the time I'd need to be there, I'll be about 20 miles away, still semi conscious in a field in my tent. Plus, the only car I'll have nearby for transport will be a Figaro

Man, now that is scraping the barrel

I take it don't actually own that sort of $****¥ jap mobile do you Dan?

No offence to owner, but, kitch gives me anaphylactic shock

It's Jodie's car - she doesn't like you anymore.

Was it you who crashed into the rear quarter of it and drove off without leaving any note?

No mate, it twas not me, I'd be dead even seeing one of those things from 100yds, brings me out in a cold sweat! If I touched one, even indirectly, I'd die on the spot, told you they had that effect on me

you

Begbie - dont be surprised im going to a wedding lol
its Antz28 wedding!!

Weather is looking dodgy for Monday, Weather Forecast link I'll be at the 3 Compasses for about 8.30 They say that after 8.45 the club access gates will be closed! Please ensure that you are there in time. You all know the drill
See you there, Ross.

The weather looking a little more hopeful now.
The local forecast.

Good, washing was not in vein then

Did mine today too. Mind you I had to, I'd been sieving earth from the garden right next to it over the last couple of days.

Well, thanks to Pondman for organising this. I had a great day out watching the various aircraft fly over and being filled in on all the history of each plane by Pete and Ross. My plane knowledge is somewhat lacking compared to these two!

The vulcan was just amazing to see, such a large plane, but the noise

This event definitely needs more coupe's, as our area was a nice prime spot for watching planes and seemed that we had quite a bit of interest, even though we had 3 cars there

Gutted I wasn't able make it maybe next year.

more info on the runway action please!!

Various machine with either 2 or 4 wheels drove along it.

A number of those with 4 wheels made the return at the end of a rope behind a Land Rover.

Various aircraft used it to take off and land.

Seriously, it was a bit disappointing, I think people had been put off going by the poor weather forecasts leading up to it and there were not many car exhibitors there.

Bad weather elsewhere had stopped some aircraft attending, notably the Lancaster.

The Vulcan did arrive to do its usual impressive display, and there were other interesting aircraft flying.

How long since any one last saw a Meteor and a Hunter flying in formation?

Pete -
Thanks Pete & Alexis for making it to the show, it was a quiet day on participation front and visitor numbers too, but it did mean we could stand and watch all the action from the car zone or even a comfy seat inside
There were some good displays, even the famous hand brake parking guy, whose name escapes me, I'm sure I be provided with soon Doing 2 wheeled car driving in the stunt zone with some pretty impressive manoeuvres & lots of tyre smoke
The Vulcan flew in this year, so that was fab. And some pretty special fly-by's from a grand selection of vintage craft. Please make it a "must come" next year, it's free entry for one + your car. There was good interest in our car too, quite a few previous owners came over to chat about how they missed there old coop's
I'll miss mine till next spring as I'm SORNing her April. Oh well, I'd better make the most of the remaining month left on her tax see you again soon, Ross.

P.S. Tim, what happened? Are you/Dad ok?

Ross, the guy was called Russ Swift

A couple of my piccys, all from the phone though :



And the Vulcan Flypass
