Question

What is the best way to get to the show on Sunday?
I'm travelling from RAF Northolt. Any ideas?

Train... don't even think about driving unless you like traffic jams
Or you could fly in I guess

Question How about...

MIDDAY

By Eurofighter? Assuming there's one there! If not, we'll find a spitfire. Oh dear oh dear. Lack of beer brings so many problems to a girl's life


(10:30am at Farnborough main station still though)

I'm not longer a virgin ! (Basher, that is!)

It was so nice to meet you all. Had a great day - beer, good company and planes what more could I ask for ?

Distant Rumble : I quite agree about the sunhat - very colour co-ordinated at work today - All in red, and thanks, I owe you one.

Cool

Thanks to everyone who came along, it made a good day out great! Was a tad warm, but plenty of cold drink (ahem) made up for it.
Nice to see two Bash Virgins too (although to really lose your virginity you have to sleep with another PPRuNer at the bash )

Hmmm,

As a pprune bash virgin methinks I'll have to make the effort to attend one sometime this year.

Are they always full of as much fun & drunken debauchery...???

Could you all please say it was a disappointing trip and not worth going. I twisted a knee on Friday and had to abandon going to Farnborough.

Does it have to be at the bash, AerBabe, or is in private before/after sufficient?
