Thought I'd better start this thread before a certain vertically unsuccesful mod got stroppy. ;):D

What was said about a Leuchars run in the other thread was:

Shoppie said:
Although space at Leuchars Airshow is commercial, the organisers think its a great idea and they may be able to set aside an area for us F.O.C. There would be a strict rule regarding our participation though...
We must be on site by 07:30am in the morning and must remain in place until the show ends (around 6:00pm) There will be no possibility of anyone leaving early!!
I have the contact name and telephone no. to get back to if you wish to proceed.

X30YES and Seanysuggested that we could go up the night before for some food & drinks then go on to the airshow.

I'll be there anyway as I have a fetish for men in uniform but if you lot would like to come along too that would be fine too I guess.

The website address for Leuchars is www.airshow.co.uk

You're gonnae get such a slap round the back of the knees!! :p:blackeye:;):D

hmm... well how about everyone comes to Sunny Dundee?
There's plenty of Travelodges and the like around.. If you all fancy booking into the same one? Or there's plent of B&Bs around too... and it should take less than half an hour to get to the show from here too..
..And the road from Dundee to Leuchars is fun!! ;);)

Just a thought... :D

I see they do a group price of £8 for 12 or more bookings :p We could go for that............and if we get to display it will also save us £3 on parking :D We can't afford NOT to go :) we'll be saving money :p:D:approve:

Folks - As I understand from the organisers, If we were to provide a large display of MINIS at RAF Leuchars Airshow under the banner of NMS we would all get "Participant" car passes which would allow us and our families free entry to the show. (I will clarify this soon)
I would also guess that they will require a firm commitment of numbers early on so I would suggest starting a list of confirmed drivers as soon as...

I am afraid I cannot take this one on so one of you will have to deal directly with the organisers as the airshow is my other hobby, I will be there anyway. Whoever it is can get the direct tel. no from me.
My car will of course be available via my son.

Why is the airshow always on a Saturday when United are at home????????

I'll probably skip this, unless Setanta change the date again!

Seany, if you want to organise the run then it would be best if you started the list as you will have to keep it updated
