I'd love to come - I think it would a great day out for the forum. Where is RAF Brize Norton - home counties?

[Vikingxl]

I am interested in going just not sure if i can make it yet. I think its in oxfordshire if i remember right.Its quite a runway from memory as i have flown from there a few years ago(usaf plane).They use it for the refueling tankers.

Indeed, it's in Oxfordshire. About 17 miles west of Oxford. Current RAF base.

I've been trying to chase up the details, I'll have a ring round tomorrow and see if it's actually happening. If it is, it should be a good day out! I'll keep ya's posted!

I too missed avon & this sounds cool!!

With my misfire under load hopefully sorted (new dizzy cap & rotor arm & new HT leads) and a full service @ VT I'd like to see if I can beat my Personal Best of 14.8

Seriously i'ts not even funny how hard it is to get info out of the MOD!
As far as I've been able to piece together, it's a charity event being hosted by a bike group and that an early start (think 8am) will see some proper motors haring about before the rest of us go on. I hope to hear more before the event!!!
I havent been able to confirm the costs, all I know is that two decent forms of ID (photo driving licence + passport) are required.
So I'm not 100% sure if we're welcome as a group, as we might be crashing someone's party so to speak! I know that the folks from www.cruiseoxford.com are going, so it would be easy to tack onto the back of them - I've warned the guys on there that a few 'sleepers' may be joining them

I hope to get this all sorted out tomorrow and sorry if this is too late for some!

Sadly I have had to make alternative plans as the new owner is picking up "Rayanna"

Right OK I shall be meeting some other cars for 7:30am in McDonald's car park in Witney, Oxfordshire. The scrutineering is at 8am so if you want to run you need to be there otherwise you'll just be watching. http://www.thefoodplace.co.uk/restau...lds+in+Witney/
From there we're in convoy until we get to the airfield. It's an RAF base so remember that passengers need ID too.

Hope to see a few of you there - any questions send me a txt on 07941 609995 or stick ur name down on here so I know if I have to wait for anybody!
