Might be an idea to give Cafe Pacific a heads up as it's a sunday and Cranfield would otherwise be pretty quiet
It's worth giving the plate a heads up (which of course you were going to do anyway) as it's not standard overhead, they have clattercopters and other offences unto God.
Evidence.
I've been following this thread with some interest and envy, Browning's (mis!)quote particularly set the scene in my mind.
A quick calculation shows that I'd go through more than 35,000 litres of fuel just to get there in my preferred chariot of the skys, so it's not likely I'll put my name forward
However I trust someone will, clandestinely or otherwise, release some photographic evidence that it all happened? That way those of constrained by distance or dollars can at least vicariously enjoy the day
FP.

Hmm, fair enough.
Out of all of the UK's stunning airfields, I'm intrigued that it's at the aviation equivalent of South Mimms road plainings storage centre...
I'll plan to come along. I assume I'll need full head to toe hi-viz gear for the occasion?

Just a thought, PPRuNe aviators; we have 60 visiting junior glider pilots flying at Shenington that weekend, arriving from all over the UK (no, they don't fly in, they drive on the Friday, and leave at the end of Sunday, by road). Should we mention to Cranfield if they are flying an assigned task? Nearly all the juniors (aged 14 to 25 inclusive) are cross country pilots.
Shenington is 7 nautical miles NW of Banbury....

PS hope you have a jolly reunion, anyhow!
