Classic Jets Air Display at Kemble - 15th June

There is a Classic Jets Air Display being held at Kemble on 15th June 2003. Kemble is based in the Cotswolds and is easy to find as theres only one road that goes past it and is positioned on the A429 between Cirencester and J17 of the M4 HERE.

If anyone would like to meet up for a great photo opportunity lets get something organised.

That depends whether it's going to rain Laurel. Wouldn't want to get your pink shirt all wet.

Hi Barry,

I definitely like the sound of this, it's not too far from me, so I'll try to get along.

I say I can definitely make it just at the moment as it will be getting a little close to our wedding, but I'm sure I can spare a Sunday. Plus I owe you a drink for all those PaintShop filters you sent!

Thanks Brian. That makes 2 positives, 1 probable and 1 checking out how many 'sickies' he taken this year :)

I'll keep you all up to date with aircraft participation as we get closer to take off time.

Let's hope it's one of the 7 warm, barmy summer days we're expecting this year.

I see helicopter flights will be operating - sounds like an excellent photo opportunity.

After consulting with the wife, I'm allowed out for the day, on the condition that she can come along as well!

I'll put the date in my diary and you can count me in for sure with the exception of any unforeseen disasters!

That's great Ed. As you're bringing your wife with you shall we open it up to partners if people want to?

I mean it's not as though we have to move through the airfield en-masse. The whole point is that some 'virtual' friends can meet up for a good photographic opportunity and have fun. If people want to go around in groups or as a single that's also fine.

Don't forget my drink Ed :-))))

What do you co-pilots who have answered in the affirmative think or anyone else who'd like to join us?

D'ya reckon we could tempt Paddy and SuziBlue along??
