Thursday 27th of May! Coningsby Spotting trip.

[Xplumberlives]

Thank you, local knowledge is very handy!

[Mayfly]

A very good point Helen - anyone coming from the Sleaford direction on the A153 ....

.... on the right hand corner before Anwick there is a lay-by on the left, in the lay-by turn left and keep going about 2 miles untill you get to the T junction turn right then right again at the end of the road [2 miles?] and then left that will take you back to the A153.




There are other diversions sign posted but evidently they take you a long way out of your way - but please be aware this is a country fen road & is not level - in places there is subsidence!!!!!

Our local weather has showers 14 deg & 10k wind...

Not suprised , it being swampy oop north and all that

I'm gonna be getting there fairly early, probably about 09:00, hows about everyone else?

[Mayfly]

Oi!!!!!!

perhaps we shouldn't let you use Lincolnshire roads to see Lincolnshire aircraft!!!!

I just need 30 minutes notice

Is that a pop after my "8 minutes" answer to your "How long will it take you to get home from Bruntingthorpe?" question?

[Mayfly]

the 30 mins also includes showering & cup of coffee!!!

[Hihonyr8811]

Ahhh, I was thinking more along the lines of 12pm ish

[Mayfly]

getting there early then Helen!!!

Still it will be good timing for buying the burgers!!

[Hihonyr8811]

early for us

I'm thinking you're all going to be bitterly dissapointed

[Mayfly]

why? I heard the burgers were good!!

[Hihonyr8811]

Nope, I bribed him today to not show up on Thursday

[Mayfly]

You should persuade your mum to move to Coningsby - you spend more time there than at home

[Hihonyr8811]

I did try and pursuade her to put an offer on the nice little house opposite the old Tattershall station near the picnic place, but she wasn't having any of it

[MadNaddy]

Erm I'll be there about half 10 I think - Not sure if I'll have Vannah here overnight because she's having her friend round after school. If I don't I can get there early! (ish)

[Dee]

Might not be able to get now, trouble with the car, but it might be fixed by tomorrow,

[Xplumberlives]

It's a LOCAL airfield for LOCAL people!

[Cluny]

Have fun today you lot .
Wish i could of gone but someone has to make sure the country ticks along nicely [and its my job to distract him]

[Mayfly]

Thanks Paul - weather is nice & sunny here at the moment - so fingers crossed & lasy nights local weather had moved the showers back a day



PS I don't mind really if you would like to use our pot holed subsided roads!!

[Wedgy]

Should be a nice day for it

[Hihonyr8811]

Still sunny

I've been up since six, but mum has litterally just emerged so I shall now go for a shower and hopefully be at Coningsby for 11

[Dee]

Hope you all had a good day, just got the car back but too late to drive over now

[Mayfly]

Shame for anyone who missed it, & sorry you weren't there - it was good morning. Alpha Jet, Lanc, Spitfire, Harrier, Typhoons, Tucanos, Dominie, King Air [they smell but Gaz likes them - so what does that tell you?]

Then we [XP & me] left at 2 - only to be over taken by 2 Tornados, a Sentinal, more typhoons & heloplicta!!!

[Cluny]

Hurry up
