29th July - RAF Fylingdales

Post by amarshall »

A request from PistonHeads

"On Friday the 29th July, RAF Fylingdales is holding it's annual families day, where service families are invited up to camp and entertainment is laid on (various stalls/displays e.t.c).

I thought it would be pretty awesome, (if any of you are available) if we could get some nice cars from Pistonheads up here, so that the service people of Fylingdales can see some lovely metal in the flesh.

I wouldn't expect it for nothing, I might not be able to offer anything monetary, but I can offer you a guided tour around the Phased Array Radar here at Fylingdales and a tour of the power house etc and I will even spot you a cheeky half at the bar if you would like?

I know it's a week day, and some may be at work, but if there any chaps on here that are interested, could you please post your details on here in the usual format and I will PM you further information. My Flight Sergeant wants an answer from me by the 1st of July, so if I have some names by then I will know whether it is feasible or not. "

Anyone interested ? We have an invitation to take up to 5 2+2s along.

As long as it has the right badge on the nose, we'll let it in - even with the engine at the wrong end ;)

A quick bump for this. I'm definitely going - it would be nice to have at least one other Lotus there to show how bad mine really is.

That pyramid is no match for the old golf ball. And they packed those cars in tighter than a council car park!
