Used to look forward to marmites pics of war and peace as the show ground filled up, would build the anticipation for the event only their for a few days this year but looking forward to it

Ditto ,should be ok and for me it’s half a mile drive. And not to much further for u

Any one going ? I’m taking ferret along. 30 June 1030 till 3. Held at east court mansion.

Agreed get past the contrived banter and it's interesting ,I view it in the same vein as the American series weapon hunter ,look past the made for tv bit and under neath is some interesting stuff , speaking as one of the masses

Sounds like a management post !!!!:cool2:

On a recent visit got chatting to a long term employee at duxford who was its fair to say pretty disallusioned with the whole place and stated that that changes in policy are down to new boss whose previous job was at the v and a museum in charge of children's clothing ! Roumer was land warfare close down and some exibits from there would be scattered around the other hangars

u seem to have a issue :cool2: with ferrets being exempt?

No not currently classed as locomotive ,vosa class them as motor tractors .which is vehicle not constructed to carry a load apart from water fuel accumulators and other equp used for purpose of propulsion and which unladen weight does not exceed 7370 kg.

had a email today after contacting the consultation with my concerns about fsc being caught up in this and they confirmed no current plans to change exemption on ferrets ( this obviously refers to post 1960 fsc)

u have to hand in empty spent cases really?

personally ,i feel display should end on agreed date ,extending it is purely a monetary decision as visiter numbers are large.

there was a episode of mud men where presenters were shooting rifles and ww1 machines guns in the uk dont know if military range or bisley? were they guests?

get on a flight to texas can personally recomend lone star gun range close to austin tx hand guns were 5 dollars to rent plus 9mm ammo was approx 40 cents each ,safety brief, drivers licence as id then shoot want u want without super vision which was a very positive thing over two days shot ppk 380 1911 45, 44 mag ,desert eagle 50 cal, 460 s&W,9mm glock 17,sks rifle couple of bolt action rifles etc over in the uk u need to be vetted to shoot ruddy 22 rimfire, and it aint worth the hassle!( closer to vegas barrat 50 cal sniper rifle was fun to fire if you have you will know what i mean!)

had a great day at the edenbridge show very cool selection of cars of all sorts / plus vintage bikes and a ex phil read yam gp bike ! and very pleasant to meet up with young mr Laker with a very smart ex Malaysian conflict dingo , nice event entrance fee 2.50 !!!
