Yeovilton Air Day Scooby Call To Arms

[baz995]

Hi all

I know its early days at the moment but just thought i would gauge interest early.

As a previous MR2 Turbo owner and working at the airstation i have organised a group meet there for the last six years like this

MR2 Owners Club - View topic - Yeovilton Air Show 2007

although the weather hasnt been kind the last few years its a great day and a great chance to meet fellow owners and show off your pride and joy to the public. In 2007 there were approx 50k visitors.

As an exhibitor you can get your car and yourself in for £14 (havent got prices for this year yet) and you get to park in the military vehicles and classic/sports car section right on the airfield.

The most i have had turn up is 13 and it made for an impressive line up, especially compared to the 3 cosworth owners that were also there. The guys in the old MR2 club used to book the campsite which is 2 miles down the road and do good prices.

Its a great day out and i normally take people round the aircraft i have or into the hangar to show them around.

Have a look, as its early days yet the lists are still being added to

RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2010 : RNAS Yeovilton : Naval Bases & Air Stations : Establishments : Operations and Support : Royal Navy

Also a call to arms for any other WAFUs on here to get yourself there if you are based at VL its a day off instead of selling programmes, emptying bins etc lol

As i say, just throwing it out there, be good to beat 13, have a few from scoobynet already coming and i had arranged a runway dash with Duncan Graham of Dynamix to race a Lynx down the runway during the lunch break, sadly after being agreed in principle it was binned due to issues of debris on the track (sad excuse i know) despite this Duncan is still coming along with his 600hp race scooby so come along and have a great day meeting fellow owners with a full flying display as the backdrop, all the normal trimmings are there as well, fun fair etc, etc. We are also trying to secure the new Wlidcat Lynx to be there as a static http://www.agustawestland.com/product/aw159

It says £10 for the Car and Driver but £15 each Passenger - Is that correct?

[baz995]

yes mate yourself +1 is £25, if you went on the day you would have to park with all the other 100s of cars and walk in plus pay £41 so quite a saving

Hi again all

not sure if you are aware of my other post on Scoobynet but in my job i recently got pinged on a Thursday evening to fly out to HMS Somerset to repair their helo and had no idea when i was getting back. Thankfully it didnt take me too long to fix it but there was a protracted period where i could not get off the ship until the bottom of the Suez. Due to that i have missed the timeframe for tickets etc and i am in no position to get the car ready and up to spec before the big day this weekend. With this in mind i have passed on to a mate who is still going to deputise in case i didnt make it back and i would like to canvass how many people form here are actually going so i can point you in his direction fo rmore details. Sadly Graeme cant make it either as he is busy swapping out conrods.
