Maybe, just maybe they left it out because it isn't a JET and didn't take part in the COLD WAR!

Hi all,

Only 3 1/2 weeks to go!!!

Its such an incredible collection of aircraft, that you can otherwise only see placed on display in museums. I was never lucky enough to go to Brunty for the Thunder Days, so these open days are special for me - I certainly want to make the most of it while the aircraft are all still there and taxiable - not to mention seeing the practically complete reconstruction of the LPG Quick Reaction Alert hangar nestled in the wooded area!

The poster says gates open at 9am, and it should be a good value day out for the family as accompanied under-16's gain free entry! I'm happy being able to see all the above and supporting the LPG and CWJ at the same time.

Hope to see you there!

With respect dear - I can speak for myself :))

Suprised no-one has mentioned the Vulcan (semi-static) as well - should be a busy day for all the residents at Brunty. All we need now is nice weather - so that means it gonna lash it down. Kerching for the Guppy =))

How many can you squeeze in there Gaz?

Don't be silly, it's a Cold War day. So trench-coat collar up, hat brim pulled down, and speak to no-one.

Not to mention out of all the airfields Bruntingthorpe must be the coldest and windiest and wettest on the planet!! So I would get your thermals out too.

Hope you all have a good time...
