Bfg Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Sounds excellent - Thank You Pete and all your elves. The 5th September may be fortuitous because it's just 10 days before the commemorative date of the Battle of Britain, which is a BIG event at Duxford ..so I'm thinking there may be some interesting aircraft popping by for their practice.

Pete Lewis Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 having great problems with IWM getting pricing etc is not happening so this may all go bottoms up if they dont wake up soon as adverts and lead times are soon running out Im getting a bit concerned might need to camp at the gate to get an answer Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I would suggest that they are waiting until 17th May, to see what Boris's latest edict is before they commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 yes event staff are on a two day week but to get an advert to Bern in the Courier its getting a bit tight June is upon us nearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Stop wishing my life away!! ..but yes, I see what you mean. But still, get the basics to Bern with a proviso that due to covid restrictions details may change and to watch the forum (include web link) for latest developments. Quite easy to edit the first page of the thread with latest up to date details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 At last an answer from IWM so this year its same price we charge £16 each adult you dont have to be in a classic ( it helps) we should be central by the control tower as we have no idea what covid restrictions on supplying any food or drinks we will keep this as THE DUXFORD PICNIC if things free up and we are confident this may change , but Im not playing at guesswork we made a good simple job of social distancing the cars last year , that should be ok for 2021 again. again its gates open at 9am and close at 12pm you have access to the whole site of open displays and hangars and this closes at 6pm so its a brilliant day out with (hopefully) more Triumphs than you can imagine and with some luck aircraft getting ready for the Duxford air show will be ciruits and bumps thrown in for good measure we CANNOT do advance tickets its PAY ON THE DAY at the Gate with CASH PLEASE on the day regards Pete The Herts and Beds team Qu1ckn1ck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat it like a formula one pit stop. 6 to lift body, 2 to push away, 8 two on each corner removing wheels ect. 2 lifting engine then lower onto new chassis once suspension back on new. Wheel back under body. I did an engine swap in a weekend on two tr7's once and drove home the one given as payment! Colin Lindsay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
