All Triumph and classic day at IWM Duxford 10th September 2017

[Pete Lewis]

Herts and Beds will be holding our 24th All Triumph Day at Duxfords Imperial War museum in Cambridgeshire

located on the A505 we will be located on grass next to the static outside aircraft, this is because the old hangar base is being used for a special 100years of Duxfords past which will be included in the admission, this is discounted from the normal if you attend this with a advert , membership card or be in your classic

prices have risen this year and we have had to round this up to £14 adult ans £6.30p for 5 --15 yearolds. This will include a free prize draw

Club shop and refreshments will be on site as usual

entry gives full site access to all the hangars, aircraft and land warfare displays

more details as this unfolds

Marvellous link and write up Pete

 

I must try and make the journey over to Duxford this year in the TR, not been since about 2012.

 

Always an interesting place to visit? 

[Pete Lewis]

Always pleased to see you

We do a good cuppa and bun fight for a donation well worth the return visit in september

 

we have moved from your last visit and now use a hanger base right in the centre, its being used for a

100yrs of Duxford so we will be on the grass alongside the row of outside aircraft as a back drop

Could be good

A good day out with lots of planes in the sky too.

Whilst clearing up, we found a small Triumph leather key fob.  Looks like it has unwound itself from a key ring as the leather hoop and stitching is all intact. 

If it's yours, please identify the model of Triumph that's engraved on it and I'll try and get it back to you.

(Or maybe someone treated themselves to a new fob at the TSSC stand and their discarded one escaped from our bin in the wind!)
