Capri and Lancaster Bomber Meet 2014

Post by Laser »

Hi
Open invitation to All laser page users .
Next years Capri and Lancaster Bomber meet at East Kirkby Lincolnshire
takes place on 19th April 2014
As the event falls on Easter Saturday for the first time we are running a different format.
An added bonus will be the Lancaster Bomber will be performing 3 Taxi runs during the day.
We are working out a different parking arrangement probably nearer to the control tower,
over the last 6 years most people who have attended have managed to get a picture in front
of the Bomber.
so this will be something different .
If you have not had the chance and want to park up with the bomber it can still be arranged .
Event starts at 9:00-10:45 arrivals .. then due to 1st Taxi run at 11:00 we will have to pause entrance across the runway ...till 1130 then move you across to the Capri parking area when you don't risk getting run over by a Lancaster Bomber .
If your interested ... watch this space and thanks for reading ..

And here's a deadline for Caprigear!!!
Hoping we'll get Tom's Mk2 back in time to rebuild the interior and bring that along too.

Come on martin, we're relying on you :kissass:

Plans are coming together nicely this year we have a runway slot next to were the Lancaster will be performing 3 Taxi runs .. and we also have a WW2 Tank performing firing practice !
footmanjames insurance have already generously donated £250 to MacMillan cancer support
in return for sponsor ship of the event ..
Weathers booked .. so it sunshades please (aviator glasses optional )
entrance £6.00 per Adult and concessions for younger citizens ..
it will be different as we have to balance taxing Lancaster bombers and capri's at timed slots and be extra careful
but we will do our best to get newbies into that shot of their car against the backdrop of a WW2 Icon ..
Not ruled out other aircraft performing fly pasts but did get my usual dear Francis letter from the RAF explaining they cannot promise ... etc .. last year you may have seen the other Lancaster flying over on the way in from the west so you you never know ?
