Answer - get a room near Wellesbourne on the 19th! Must be a two day journey from Cornwall to Brunty anyway, allowing for immigration / customs and those cobbled roads all the way to Bristol! :))

Simples! :D

For those indecisive souls who haven't yet decided to come, here's another poster to show you what a great day it will be.

A bit too far for me to convince the missus it'll be worth it (I'm still trying to convince her my trip to Brize was worth while) :ymblushing:

I'll definately see you at RIAT (She's coming too :D )

Not at all sure what this question is aimed at, so it will have to be a general answer.

XM655 has 18.
The tug has 6.
The houchin has 4.
The (VW) starter wagon has 4.
The classic cars (generally) have 4 each.
The military vehicles are somewhat variable.
The British Legion Bikers (generally) have 2 each.

If that doesn't cover it, can you be more specific, please. ;)
