Hi all,
These are the plans for next Saturdays twight run, it might not work exactly like this but we are gonna try our best and keep it 'tight'
As you come though the gate you will show your tickets to Bob (big Bob) you will then turn right down to the shed and will be parked on the grass area opposite the shed.
You can come over wander about and have a chat with us, get some piccies of us 'playing' there will be a souveniers stall as well.
We pan to tow 904 out about 3.30pm and everyone will be called to their cars (start your engines) and will follow our 'follow me' van (LPG1) up to the tower pan along the peri track, there's ample parking up there.
Any late comers will be 'sheparded' up there with a few of us that will stay behind and wait till about 4.15pm
We will positon 904 into wind in front of the tower and have everyone on one side of her for the run, not decided which side yet, its all down to wind direction
No2 engine will be run first about 4.20pm, both engines will be run separately into reheat several times for you to get the feel of the occasion
Once all the fun is over we will tow her back down and back her onto the apron with 728 at her side, you should all be back down to the grass area opposite the shed by then, we will then flood light the apron for lots of piccies and then do the same again once they are back inside.
When all the clicking is over both thingypits will be open, and for a few 'pennies' more anyone who fancies it can climb in with all the 'office' lit up and pretend .
Sound ok ?
