Although I started this thread in December, the idea was first discussed about a year ago just after the Coast to Coast run (which I celebrated the first anniversary of, this weekend by wearing the T-shirt to the Arbuckle's meet).
After one of my youngest cousins died, we had a reunion with her brother and his wife.
He is ex-RAF Typhoon ground crew and is now with BAE (same job) and she works at the BBMF. We met again later in the year, ironically, at my Dad's funeral, the idea of the visit moved on a little further. They have both been busy pulling strings and calling in favours for our benefit, so It's my cousin and his wife we have to thank, and Disco of course. :thumbsup:

Smiffy, we're coming to see you on Thursday 5th July.

Will we need to bring some ID such as passport or driving licence?

Well done for organising the day, much appreciated!
 
I would take some form of ID with you, the RAF police should not let anyone onto an active site without some form of ID.
 
Good point, well made BRD.
I would be surprised if we got in with no ID. I will find out what is required.

Everyone on the list attending will get a PM with all the details in good time before the event.

There is still time to sign up for this. I will need your details (as on post #72) by Sunday June 24th, for a security check.
The event is on Thursday 5th July.

I will be contacting everyone on the list via PM, probably early next week.
I will have a firm itinerary by then and info on what to bring.. What not to bring and what we can and cannot do on the active RAF station.

Post event, is still not decided.
As we will probably finish at somewhere around 2pm, I suggest that the easy option would be to eat together somewhere close by, after a short ride and then go our separate ways (A long ride home for most), or venture out into Lincolnshire to explore... Can't contribute to that as I have no local knowledge.

Any thoughts?
 
So Are you tiddly taking us up the om pom pom skeggy road for chips on the prom prom prom?
 
Don't they do some nice sausages in that area? I'm sure I've seen them in Sainsburys.
 
Too late?

Hi Gary
Hope I’m not too late to sign up for this, am very keen to tag along.
I’ll send you through my details to get on the base.
