Re: VC10 beer and burger
I'll be going A46, A52 and A453 to the airport from Newarkeddie1 wrote:Anyone coming from the North ( Lincs / Yorkshire / areas ) want to meet up at a suitable location, would be pleased to do so! M1 is down to one lane a lot of the way to East Midlands Airport ( and a bit slow! ) So alternate routes might be better, any ideas? We are coming from Scunthorpe, North Lincs. If anyone using the M1 give yourselves a bit extra time!

Re: VC10 beer and burger

I've been up and down the M1 quite a few times recently with no problems, although the 50 limit makes it a bit boring it does wonders for the mpg!eddie1 wrote:Setting off at 10:30, top down, looking forward to it! Hat on tho' I think! Hope the M1s not too bad!

Re: VC10 beer and burger
Eddie, it might be worth coming off at j28 and taking the a38 to derby then picking up the A50 for the airport, then take the turn off for Donington. Keeps you off the M1 and there will be restrictions on the A453 due to the bike racing.

Re: VC10 beer and burger
Can I just turn up for this event?
Re: VC10 beer and burger
Pete and Dave, what a brilliant afternoon! Couldn't have asked for better weather. What your doing there is a credit to you and I hope what bit of money you made from the Zed meet can go towards whatever project your working on at the minute.
A couple of pics of the days events.

Relaxing after a pint and a Rocky Dave burger special!

Re: VC10 beer and burger
What a fantastic afternoon - thanks again Pete and the Crew at the Aeropark. Great company, sunshine, good burgers, superb aircraft and knowledge from the crew.
Oh, and a a pretty tidy line up of Zeds ! (I think Lesley preferred it to the 'retail therapy' that would have happened had we not gone - need to find somewhere for next week now )

Re: VC10 beer and burger
Looks an excellent turn out and a great time appears to have been had. So disappointed I already had made plans for the day near Buxton. mind you if the date had not been changed it wouldn't have been such glorious weather! Glad it turned out so well for everyone.

We do our best Pete, we do our best! Wasn't quite as we would have liked but it just passed muster!
Re: VC10 beer and burger
Thanks Pete for arranging a great day out. Never complain about sitting in an office after seeing where the guys in the Vulcan had to conduct business.
