I'll be there again this year, for the third time.
For any other midlanders considering the trip, its a really nice run out through Melton to get to this.
No doubt we'll arrange a rendezvous nearer the date.
If memory serves there were about a dozen ukmoc members in attendance last year.
Maybe we need a banner or something to make a more formal presence this year ?

If you guys would like a 'club stand' or reserved area just for Ducati Monsters please let me know and I'll make all arrangements.

My little bruvver might even attend, he's (very slowly) rebuilding a 1997 M900 he's had since new, it'll give him a date to aim for.......

Sorry about that, for the last 8 or 9 years it's been held in July but this year we were asked if we wanted to use the Bank Holiday Monday and combine it with the LAHC American Air Day.

We couldn't refuse their offer, Erik Buell Racing (USA) will have a presence, P-51 Mustangs plus Buells and Italian motorcycles - it's going to be an awesome day :biggrin:...

Ah, I hadn't noticed the new of date....... my birthday actually.
But my calendar is still free.
Shame you're booked up, Mel.

In addition to two P-51 Mustangs the LAHC have now confirmed that one of the RAF's Spitfires will be displaying.

If you guys want to have an area reserved for Monsters please let me know ASAP.

I was waiting to see how many replied to this thread before contacting you about reserving a monster area.
I suspect a few are leaving their plans fluid for now though.
I do know of a small number who are definitely going, including myself, but I expect more will join up as time progresses.
Maybe we should just arrange it now and assume that the numbers will increase to normal levels in due course ?

It'll be a very busy day and a lot of trade stands have already booked their plots so I'll reserve UKMOC a space for 15 to 20 bikes. If you have a Ducati and/or UKMOC banner it'll help with your display.

We'll be at the Aviation Centre between 8.00 and 8.30am on the day itself so if a UKMOC member who's local to East Kirkby could get there to set up before 10.00am we'll direct all Ducati Monsters to you as they arrive.

Hi guys, an update on the Buell/American Air day.
Chris and I have had a chat and agreed a dedicated area for the UKMOC to display our bikes.
There will be plenty of space, so the more the merrier.

I have posted a link for the event below, but the basics are 2 P51-D Mustangs and a Spitfire will perform an air display on the day, along with the taxi runs by the Lanc.
Also the 2 riders for the Erick Buell race time will be there on the day.

http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/events/Special-Events/american-air-day.htm

Please add your name to the list below, so we can have an idea of numbers.

I really want to go to this one, meet some Monster folk and oggle all those Italian bikes.

Unfortunatly it clashes with a little show in Norfolk where we hope to debut a Triumph 21 that I have been helping out with...Triumph is a bit behind though, so my name might go down later.

The Aviation Centre has issued an update for our event, a B17 Flying Fortress has been added to the aircraft display program......

We will have three taxi-runs of the Lancaster (11am, 1.30pm and 4.00pm) and our resident Dakota will be displaying for us.

We will also be visited by two P-51 Mustangs which will be providing displays during the day and we will have a flying display from 'Sally B' the B17 Flying Fortress!

On top of that the BBMF Spitfire will be giving us a flypast!!!

We hope to be able to get the B17, DC3 Dakota and Mustangs all up together for a multi aircraft formation flypast.

Utopia and I are heading up to East Kirkby early to set up the pitch for the club.
Might be best if you guys organise where to meet. I know capo is planning to go, maybe have a chat with him to arrange a time and place to meet for a ride in?

Final notice for the event:

Regulars to this event will be familiar with how it's run but if it's your first visit these details will prove helpful.

Event location details including map can be found here: http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/contact-us

The event runs from 10.00am until late afternoon and admission for those arriving by motorcycle is £8.00 per adult. Admission for children, 10 to 15 years, is £4.00. Under 10's free.

To help us on the gate please have the correct money available when you arrive.

If you plan to ride in as a group please pool all your admission money together before you arrive at the Aviation Centre and give it to a nominated person to hand over. Again it'll help us on the gate and speed up your entry.

As last year, on arrival in the main car park all motorcyclists will be directed straight ahead to where you'll see signs leading to our Buell marquee where we'll collect your admission money. Please note that only the money collected by us at the motorcycle entrance helps to raise funds for Emma's Charity, the Papworth Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Unit.

If you're arriving on four wheels instead of two then please park in the main car parks and walk round to us at the motorcycle entrance. If you walk down to the main public entrance you will be charged the normal £12 per adult admission rate, all of which goes to the Aviation Centre.

We will have a Buell/EBR area next to the control tower. EBR Europe have confirmed that WSB riders Geoff May and Aaron Yates from Team Hero EBR will attend plus there'll be three 1190RX's and one 1190RS on display.

Italian motorcycles plus other makes will park on the larger concrete area near the hanger. The Ducati Monster Owners Club will have their own dedicated parking area and we'll direct any Monster riders to it when they arrive.

American Air Day timetable:
11.00am Avro Lancaster taxi-run
12.00pm Dakota flying display
12.30pm Queen Mary airfield tour
1.30pm Avro Lancaster taxi-run
1.45pm Queen Mary airfield tour

Hi guys, just a reminder that the club will have a dedicated display area,I'm not sure yet where we will be, but the airfield is fairly compact, so when you head in, look for the club banner.

I'd like to thank everyone who attended our event on Monday, come rain or shine you guys (and girls) help to make this event something very special.

Out of a total of 290 there were approximately 120 Italian motorcycles present.

We raised £600.00 on the gate for Emma's Charity, the Papworth Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Unit. This will take the total we've raised since Emma passed away in April 2004 to over £45,000.00.
