And possibly Hampshire at a push

On Sunday May 6th its the Abingdon Airfayre http://www.abingdonfayre.com/

Planes, old cars, lots of odd people (well I'll be there)

Anyone up for a mini meetup??

 

[tempra]

Aye - but why is this in Past Meetups??

 

[tempra]

Aye - but why is this in Past Meetups??

ummmm.... because I've had one too many?

 

[FOTO-GRAFFIC]

Count me in - I need to get out more

and isn't it the 6th?

ever get the feeling I don't know what I'm doing?

And what about people from Bedfordshire?

I know you like planes and stuff so there's this as well. My local area for one of my car clubs organises an event at Duxford each year. You pay to see the old Triumph cars and also get entry to the plane museum. This year it's also got hotrods or something at the same time as the Triumph show.

Nothing has been publicised yet (dates, prices etc) but when it is I can post them up if you're interested. It'd probably be around a tenner and in September, so not a bad price (cheaper than the museum on a normal day?).

Bought my tickets today - the whole family are coming, think the wife has got a taste for aeroplanes

Ferny, let us know about the Duxford thing - I know I'm going to Budapest in September sometime, so as long as it doesn't clash, I'm up for it - be good to see you at Abingdon as well if you can make it.

Someone say Duxford? I went there in Early Jan to test out the new XTi. We got there late so by the time I saw this it was closing and I wasn't able to ask what the story was.

and if cars are your thing...

from the Abingdon air & country show site

With vintage and classic vehicles of all types attending we hope to have a bumper selection in 2007 ranging from steam engines, classic cars, police cars (perhaps a police box - more familiar to the current generation as the model for Dr. Who's TARDIS!), buses, ex-military vehicles and much more! The Abingdon MG Car Works Centre will again join us after their successful attendance in 2006. In light of their 25th anniversary, it is hoped twice as many MGs - ranging from the early versions to the works competition cars - will be on show.
As well as the classics on show there'll be chances for kids to try their hand at go-karting and arena demonstrations of some of the vintage vehicles... and we'll have a 1968 Abbott Self propelled gun giving rides to those who want a bit of experience driving around in a tank
