INFO.Brize Norton Photocall-Enthusiast day-VC10,Tristar and C130-Sunday 22-09-2013
Hi all,
For a little while now I have been in negotiations after highlighting an interest in the retirement of several Raf Aircraft which include the Vc10,Tristar and C130. I mentioned there would be a lot of interest in these types especially as for some types they are very close to leaving frontline service. So I am very pleased to announce an event that has been put forward for us to support. So i am hoping that as many of my fellow colleagues,enthusiasts,can support this to make it a successful day. I attach details and look forward to meeting with people on the day. Here are Details below, With the kind permission of the Station Commander, RAF Brize Norton, a short-notice window of opportunity has appeared that allows us to hold an Aviation Enthusiasts' Event on Sunday 22nd September between 1000-1500 hours. This event will be the last chance to get up close and dirty with 3 iconic aircraft that are shortly to leave RAF service. There will be the opportunity to view (inside and out) and photograph a Vickers VC10, due to retire at the end of September, a Lockheed C130K, due to retire at the end of October, and a Lockheed L1011 Tristar that is due to retire in early 2014. Throughout the day, crews and engineers from each aircraft will be available to show enthusiasts around and answer any questions that you may have. For security reasons, this day will only be open to 200 people on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your bids in early! Although the event is free, a cash donation of £20 to the RAF Benevolent Fund is strongly encouraged and will be collected on the day. If you are interested in coming then please email your intent to: 216Sqn-Events@... with the following details of those in your party: Full name Phone number Address Car make, model, colour and registration (if known) Age (if under 18) Any special requirements Estimated arrival time All those attending will be parking off-base at RAF Brize Norton and, following security checks, will be transported on and off the camp by a bus service that will run throughout the day. Last time of entry will be 1400; last bus will leave the camp at 1500. Please do not attempt to gain entry via the main gate – you will be refused entry! Details on where to park and requested arrival time will be sent with confirmation of your place. All adults will need to bring some form of photo ID – either driving licence or UK passport. No ID, no entry I'm afraid! The last date for UK passport holders to send their details is Friday 13th September; the last date for foreign passport holders to apply is Friday 6th September. Soft drinks and a picnic area will be available, but please bring your own packed lunch. Furthermore, there will be the opportunity to purchase various Squadron merchandise such as prints, stickers etc and get crews to autograph if desired. Unfortunately, there will be no passenger flying or flypasts – any aircraft movements during the day will be for operational reasons only. I very much look forward to seeing you there! Wing Commander Pete Morgan OC 216 Squadron As there are issues with email contact being displayed to apply I list it below with notes. Hi all, A superb response so far.Here is the email address to apply to. 216Sqn-Events@... Heres hoping this works now. If it does not show remainder of email address it is mod.uk after the @. See you there ! Regards Noel Shearer |
Update.Photocall/Enthusiast Event Vc10/Tristar/C130K Brize Norton Sunday 22-09-2013
Hi all,
I would like to mention that the support/interest has been incredible for this event. I have been informed that as of 29th August applications are not currently being accepted . The options we have are being looked at and responses sent out when possible. It is also worth mentioning that an allowance needs to be made for slight delays due to items currently in the news ! I know those successful will be advised in due course. Please bear with us on this one. Regards Noel Shearer |
