I'm planning to meet at the McDonald's next to Soper's (LN6 9UH). The McDonalds car park is not very big, but I don't want us to be delayed, so no tours of Soper this time! We need to be away by 1000, so we can get to Coningsby for 1100 to see the aircraft preparing for take-off at 1130.
After the aircraft have left we can decide what to do until 1310 when they return.
When we depart and what we do in the afternoon is optional, but Petwood House (LN10 6QG) (617 Squadron's Officers' Mess from 1944-45) is just up the road and does bar snacks (http://www.petwood.co.uk/)
Summary
0930 Meet at McDonalds/Soper (LN6 9UH)
1000 Leave McDonalds
1100 Arrive RAF Coningsby (LN4 4SY)
1130 Lancaster, Spitfire 1, Spitfire 2, Spitfire 3 & Hurricane take-off
1225 Dakota take-off
1310 Lancaster, Spitfire 1 & Spitfire 2 return
1325 Hurricane returns
1445 Dakota returns
1510 Spitfire 3 returns
This is not a cruise, so don't expect lots of driving and a slap-up meal. We can decide if and when we eat on the day.
