Jeff Glasser Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Hi there, my name is Jeff and I'm a bit new to computers etc. so please bear with me. First I'd like to mention a forthcoming event that members might be interested in. (If the moderators feel I've put this in the wrong place, please feel free to move it to a more appropriate thread.) Dunkeswell Airport, nr Honiton Devon. On the 4th-5th of July there is a 'Fly in' for light/homebuilt/and Classic aircraft. There can be up to 200 visiting aircraft ( Saturday is usually the busiest) The organisers and Airport management would like to combine this event with a Military vehicle contingent, with the hope that this would become a future attraction for the likes of us people who own green things. The Airport facilities would be accessable to all visiting military vehicle owners and their passengers etc. This would include free entry to the meet, the display area, and the Air Centre, which has an excellent bar and restaurant with all day food, drinks etc. being served. Those that wish to, can camp overnight. On the Saturday night there is a band (type not known) and 'Hog roast' The airfield is ex U.S.Navy W.W.II (flying B.24/P.B.4Y 1's and Catalinas') and is steeped in history, and still very much intact. It's very busy with one of the best skydiving schools in the U.K. and an equaly top notch and thriving flying school. (should you wish to see Devon from the air, this can be arranged.) retaining many of the original buildings and all three runways. Those that wish to attend, and they will be most welcome, should try to arrive by mid morning either day. We know that new events are always difficult, but it would be appreciated if as many as possible could give it a go! By the way, I own a '42 G.P.W.

Snapper Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Welcome Jeff. The Friendly Forum is the place to be. Custard Creams are hard currency round here. No counterfeits accepted. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Glasser Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks Snapper, from now on I shall always carry a supply in the jeep. Would they be Class A custard creams, or is it o.k. if they're for your own use? I'm afraid I'm new to the world of Custard cream dealing!

Adam Elsdon Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Nah Garibaldis, you only get 5 biscuits in a packet but they are really long, and they conveniently put break lines in, so you dont have to put the whole thing in your mouth at once................only me then..:-D Sounds like a good event Jeff.

abn deuce Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Welcome to the Friendliest Forum on the net . Oner of the senior members will bealong shortly to sort out your chores and duties that are required as a newly join member to be done until the next new member joins . Once those details are complete along with previous mentioned custard creams and the correct number of KitKat bars are given to certian unnamed members you may advance to the club bar room for a small glass of you favorite brew . On another note very nice looking Jeep please to make sure you dont block those members in the club house parking lot who have Larger vehicles......tanks , armoured cars GMC's and Hippo's to name but a few as they tend to use Jeeps as tire chocks .

Jeff Glasser Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks for the welcome guys. I assume that after said chores and duties are completed, there will be the standard damned good thrashing in the dorm from Potherington-Smythe (senior)after lights out! On the parking pecking order, I'm very aware of the perils of the parking lot. Nobody wants to hear the chap you saw earlier at the helm of a Sherman asking if the owner of a jeep/Tilly/ motorcycle, is in the bar! Does'nt everything upset the Dutch?!
