Topic: Salute to the 445th Bomb Group, Tibenham Airfield Friday the 11th of June

Dear All

I am pleased to announce that we will be holding

A Salute to the 445TH Bomb Group,
which will be a Scale/Warbird/Jet meet at Tibenham Airfield on Friday the 11Th of June 2010

By kind permission of the Norfolk Gliding Club

Three (smooth) tarmac runways in various directions

There is a charge for the use of the Airfield, so unfortunately I will have to charge entrants a fee

Pilots £6
Helpers/Guests £2
Payment in advance would be helpful please

A one minute silence will be held at mid-day for the fallen.


Proof of BMFA or LMA insurance will need to be provided on the day.

Food, Drink,  Bar and Toilets are available at the club house.
The Tibenham Ball will be held in the Clubhouse in the evening.

If you would like me to look into bringing the fullsize P51D Mustang to Tibenham again I will do that.
There would however be a further charge for the Mustang.

Please post on this thread if interested.

Below are some pictures from last year

Thank you all for your support, we are off to a great start considering the event is 4 months away.
This is a labour of love for me, I love this type of event.
A day out with friends and liked minded people you can't beat it.

Regards Phil G.

Richard, bring what ever you like mate (scale/warbird/jet) I just hope that you can make it.
It is never quite the same if any of our regulars can't make it.

If you have any problems with the ATC at Barkston, I might be able to help you with that.
As I have mentioned to you before.

I will make enquires regarding the Mustang tomorrow.

The more I see your Trusty Rusty scheme the more I like it.

Regards Phil G.

Dear Shaun
I am sorry to hear that you are unable to attend this event,
The NGC  run various courses etc during the year, so this was the only realistic
date I could have. At least you will be with your kids mate.

Regards Phil G.

Phil

Dear Charlie
Thank you for supporting this event, all being well the Yellow Spitfire
will be there. It is one of the nicest Spitfire's I have ever flown.

It would be worth coming to this event, just to see your Sea Fury.

If you look above, there might even be two Furies.
Mick B. has got one on the go.

Charlie, when you take charge of your magnificent Sea Fury can you post
some picture on here please.

I look forward to seeing you on the day.

Regards Phil G.

YES PLEASE MR PHIL SIR
Yayyyy, at long last.

Mustang in Colt colours   on 2.4 and anything else I have around.

Looking forward to it already.

Charlie C

It would be worth coming to this event, just to see your Sea Fury.

Regards Phil G.

You trying to rub it in Phil  

Have a fantastic day guys, I will try to alter the dates my kids with their mother to free the day up but I fear that will be like trying to negotiate with a rabid dog  

Kids will always come 1st though  

Yep, please count me in for this one....

Is it flying off the peg as we did last year?

Camel/Tiger Moth

Yes it will be, but it would be nice to keep appropriate categories flying together.

Regards Phil G.

YES PLEASE MR PHIL SIR
Yayyyy, at long last.

Mustang in Colt colours   on 2.4 and anything else I have around.

Looking forward to it already.

Charlie C

Charlie Boy
At long last, and a P51 in a Colt scheme it does not get much better than that.

I am glad that you can make this one.

Regards Phil G.

Yes it will be, but it would be nice to keep appropriate categories flying together.

Regards Phil G.

As a flyer of one of the slower more vulnerable types..... agreed.... 

Dear All

You beauty....

I have just spoken with Maurice Hammond, the owner of Hardwick Warbirds.

He has agreed to bring one of his magnificent P51D Mustang's to Tibenham on the afternoon of
the 11Th of June. Obviously pending weather, serviceability etc.

I am going to see if I can get some sponsorship for the Mustang,
from some of the larger companies on this forum.


Below are some pictures of Maurice's other P51D Mustang 'Janie'

I don't normally like seeing pictures of myself (Old/Grey/Fat bloke)
If you could humour me on this one, it is a picture of me greeting Maurice on his arrival
at Tibenham last year.

To say I am elated is an understatement.  

Regards Phil G.

Hi Phil

Please put myself & Pete down for the day.

Not sure what aircraft Pete will bring, but will advise later.

Myself, it will be

P51D TopFlight
P38 YT
B25 YT

All on 2.4

Hope to see you and the other Colt lads at our Sunday 6th June, War Birds Over the Fens event?

Martin

Be nice if Morris could bring Janie this time Phil, what do you think?

It would compliment Pylon's Trusty Rusty a treat 

Dear Martin
I am glad both you and Pete are on board for this one.
I will be putting my name down for your bash,
you Fens boys always make people feel welcome.

Any pictures of your models please mate?

Mudder's
I think Maurice has that in mind.

Regards Phil G.

Hi Phil

Yes please  

See you later

Richard

Dear Richard
It will be nice to see you once again,
thank you for supporting this event.

Regards Phil G.

Hi Phil

Could you please add me to the list for your event.  I assume you will have a Lighting and Jag there, so I will bring the old girl to make a threesome!  Attached one of Lozza's pics hopefully.

Phil H

Dear Phil
Thank you for supporting this event.
I did send you a personnel invite but the email bounced back.

All being well the Lightning and Jaguar will be present.

The Hunter looks fantastic mate.

Regards Phil G.

Can I come to please mister?

Not got anything scale to fly, but would love to come along for the atmosphere and the photo opportunities.

Can be someones pit bitch if they need one.

NSS
You are more than welcome to attend,
It will cost you £2 plus a donation towards the Mustang, if I can't get any sponsorship for it.

NSS

I have just reread your post, I noticed that you have some scale stuff there,
why don't you bring them along and have a fly mate.

Regards Phil G.

Booked the day off work today.


More than willing to contribute to see any of Maurice`s war birds.
