mini meet at IWM Duxford - Postponed Again
Due to people being busy on Mothering Sunday, this has been postponed until later in the year.
few months ago, while juggling with a V6 engine, Jim let slip that he has never been to the Duxford Imperial War Museum. So if he is off Citroens for a few weeks, it seems like a good opportunity to rectify the situation.
I am free next weekend (13/14), and then any weekend in March. So are there any takers for a group visit? I don't expect to get the 10 required for a group discount, but it seems to be a good excuse for a small gathering.
Any takers? and preferred dates?

One place I've been meaning to visit for ages!
I'm in. 13/14 sounds good, any weekend for that matter. This weekend I'll be tinkering. I'll set some cash aside for it.

I believe I am working Saturday (have one off soon though not sure which) so Sunday is better.
Pub lunch sounds good, gives me a bit of time to get up there

I was all up for this, until I was reminded what else 14th February is...
Need to get to Duxford though. As a plane nerd, I want to see the TSR2. One of the best looking planes ever built, and a sad testament to the decline of our aviation industry.
I get married at the end of March, so I'm unlikely to make it this side of May unfortunately... Got to 'endure' two weeks in Sri Lanka!

PS Is that the first time that one has been used on here?

I live quite close (5 miles away but under the flight path on air-show days).DickieG wrote:Duxford is a bit of a pub free zone, there is one in Fowlmere but I've no idea what its like.
The Chequers at Fowlmere is does decent pub food. The King William IV at Heydon is nicer, but the food is really a bit expensive these days.
The Royal Oak at Barrington is somewhere between those in quality and value.
A bit further afield, (about 12 miles from Duxford) the Red House at Longstowe is good.
I belatedly realised that the date has significance for some people. I negotiated around that problem, but OTOH, "significant others" are welcomeSl4yer wrote:I was all up for this, until I was reminded what else 14th February is...
It might make it harder to find a place for lunch (I will phone a couple of the pubs to see how their bookings are).
Any non-14th Feb date would be better, you know what women are like!

What? Are you saying Duxford isn't romantic?
