CWJ's Open day 30th May

[MadNaddy]

Well, it appears we'll all be there - dragging the eldest kicking and screaming again Heading down to Canterbury afterwards for a few days

[Xplumberlives]

I am sure Canterbury is quaking in anticipation!

[MadNaddy]

Cheers mate

[Equinox]

A fuel contamination issue (ie lots of water) was found in the stbd main tAnk of the sea vixen, so if we can filter it out and then bleed the engine of it you never know we might have it fire up

[Vulcan Bomber]

Ah yes, I cant think of many jet engines that'll run on water!!

good luck sounds like a pig of a job

But it was a NAVAL jet!

[Vulcan Bomber]

This is indeed true, perhaps it needs some salt in it....

[XM607]

Pick up a can of Wynns Dry Fuel from the local motor factors! Actually, I'd make it two

I'm aiming to be there anyway. Leave the kiddiewinks at home for me though, they're only 11months old!

Paul you spoil sport! I'm not going now!

Bruntingthorpe's website says: "PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NIMROD CURRENTLY REMAINS AN MOD ASSET AND AS A RESULT IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO TAXI THE AIRCRAFT ON THE OPEN DAY. IT WILL HOWEVER BE ON STATIC DISPLAY."

Is that right or is that old news that hasn't been updated?

[Cluny]

I think its old since they have already taxied her since she was delivered
Only other thing i can think of is that they have there wires crossed and actually mean the VC10s [which dont have engines anyway]

[P.eames]

It isn't old and it is infact accurate.

[Mayfly]

You'll see from Andy 320psi link to UKAR that shes in the static park

For lots of reasons, the Nimrod not running is very bad news.

[Howslo]

Sounds ominous...can you enlighten us Gaz?

[Wedgy]

Queue? QUEUE???


Fantastic .... good crowd?

[Xplumberlives]

My foreign correspondent has just left and said it was a very good day!

[IanM]

Was a very good day!

Lightning run was fantastic, Tina stayed on the ground but looked excellent and I've come away with loads of photos, a few videos and sunburn!!!

Oh, and a LPG mug

[Wedgy]

Get sorting those photos

[RLN]

Excellent day - nice to see everyone again. I spent the day bothering Naddy, I'm afraid. As IanM says, I look a bit like a matchstick. Very good turnout and all the runs were good, especially the Lightning (but I'm a bit biased; well done Andy et al.).
No pictures, but Naddy was saying that the ones with long lenses were making up for deficiencies in other areas. I might have mentioned that I had a tripod, but no camera I thought I'd better say it before Naddy blows it out of all proportion - and I don't mean that the way some of you might be thinking.
