Locolines Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just back from the weekend event, and although the weather was very nice, there was unfortunately not a lot going on, except for some good 1940s jive dancing at North Weald station. Our jimmy was the largest vehicle followed by dodge and a Nice morris tractor and a few jeeps. There were a few reinactors camped about. A vintage bus service ran between the two stations and steam train rides were available on the Saturday,but on Sunday it broke so it was pulled by a diesel. some of the advertised events failed to appear including the Battle of Britain flight, although the PR spitfire did a very thrilling but short display on the Saturday.On the Sunday a warhawk/ kittyhawk flew in around in the distance for a couple of minutes. there were 3 classic cars in attendance Potentially they have the makings of a really good event there, but I think in my humble opinion they need to organise it better and set the scene, by not letting the general public etc parking their modern cars amongst the exhibitors for example. The staff there however were very friendly and helpful and above all I still enjoyed it. I imagine its very difficult to organise such events, I couldn't do it, but thought I would share my own opinion.I will go again next time.

I know that the BoBMF Lancaster was out of action over the weekend due to it being grounded with a maintenance issue, as it was due to fly over Cosford last weekend. The Dakota was due to make an appearance at Cosford though in it's place. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Well , the organisers couldnt foresee that, just one of those things I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
