Will there be a jet available??? Seriously tho, be happy to contribute

[cornish-stormrider]

they are pulling the hanger queens out of AMF (or whatever it is called this week) and going to try and bump start them :E

[TurningFinals]

We have 2 jets available so that one team can be pulling their jet while the other is being set back up at the start line. It will possibly be 8 teams now, so hopefully we can raise as much as possible!

8 teams with only 2 aircraft? Don't go breaking the maximum taxying distance limitation, the last team will be at a disadvantage if the tyres have blown :8

[AGS Man]

I hope you don't give the bean counters ideas. Do away with tugs and towing arms and just use the guys to pull the jet. Save lots of money!

[TurningFinals]

Only a few days until the big event. All donations gratefully received! It really is a big task, pulling a roughly 17 tonne tornado for a whole mile!

We have just hit £400 on the Sport Relief page, and projections are that the teams will have raised around £1500. Any more donations more than welcome!

Bit like shagging a WRAF for two nights on the trot.

Only the WRAF weighs more.
