B-52 11:19



Are any of you there...

Mic were you on your own or with someone? like your cousin like you said? and were you wearing black tracksuits?

Well, 11.19 is not 11.00. If I say 11.00 I mean 11.00 & not twenty minutes later. I have better things to do than hang around all day waiting to meet someone who won't show up.

PS. I wasn't at Fairford today but have arranged to meet people at Duxford who never showed. That's fine by me & I give them 10 minutes maximum. I've also met several members of the forum who did keep their word - & be there as promised.

And in some cases, about 2 hours early, but between you and Charlie, you did stick out rather easily:)

There's a trick to meeting people - distinctive clothing (pre brief to the person you are meeting), and a well chosen well defined meeting point, such as right in front of the nose of the '52...

Worked for me and Doug at Duxford a few years back!

Indeed it did.

[Mictheslik]

I was there at 11, just after visiting skysim. I wasn't with someone, but was wearing black tracksuits and a red shirt.....I had left by 11:19....tempted by the end of the Tornado display

[Craig.]

thats the other thing about meeting someone at an airshow.
I always try to do it before the air display starts, because once it does its almost impossible to move me away
