Cambs Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:06 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Mick IF I make it, I'll be going A141 to Huntingdon. Round the bypass to the A14 and come off the A14 at Godmanchester and on to the A1198. But to be quite honest it's looking very unlikely that the Militant will be ready. I still haven't finished rubbing down and there's at least another week of prep work left. And then I need to put of few miles on it to get me back into the swing of driving it.

Good to hear your still coming Richard, If we cant all get together for a convoy to the show then we could always do one from the show.

Richard Grosvenor Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hello guys, Unfortunately I will not be able to make it in the Militant. :cry: The brakes sticking on shouldn't be a problem and hopefully will be sorted out on Thursday but today I've noticed some serious cracking in one of the NOS tyres and I just can't risk having a blow out. The Ferret is entered and so is the Land Rover but the plan was to take the Ferret on the Militant if I didn't take the FH70 and the LR is only entered as a support vehicle. Add to the fact that it's very busy in the shop it's looking unlikly that I'll make it at all!! :cry: :cry: :cry: I might ring Duxford up and see if I could take the ZIL instead but I would think that they don't like late changes. Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve ryan Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi Richard I bet the zil will be just fine, we are going to be at the gates in a convoy of ? vehicles no probs me it must be the Ferret that thig i said about towing the Militant with 4 jeeps,... was a joke steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopnut Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi Guys Not booked in for Duxford, would you know if the let you in with out a booking? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Richard as long as you have a pass for the Mil then you can just say it went US so you bought the Zil instead and they'll be fine thats if they ask of coarse, and the Landy should be fine as it got a pass already and its not exactly a bright red Escort . Shopnut from what Ive been told + experienced the reason you have to book in is so you get listed in the program, get a plack and to let them know roughly how manys coming, so if your not bothered about the prog then you should be fine. Sounds like its going to be a good show. Here's the timetable: 9:00 gates open 10-12:00 judging takes place 12:00 signing in post closes 14-15:00 cavelcade round the airfeild ( 70mph runway and 25mph peri track) 15-15:30 flying display 15:30 start of arena display 17:30 show closes 18:00museum closes CONTACT NUMBER FOR SHOW ORGANISER BRIAN HARRIS 01525 751654 Tyler.
