Idea's for a photo shoot

[Cavalier342]

Flipping heck, I'd be up for that!!! I'm into my WW2 history, don't suppose there's any old aircraft parked there at all? Would make for an awesome photo shoot. Always wanted to go to an old airfield... No speed limits

RAF Deenethorpe

It's an old American Base that flew Boeing B17 Bombers mainly over Berlin...

The owner (a farmer of course) Currently hires it out to a Micro Lite club, this is on a part time basis.. I'm sure he would let us use it for a day or afternoon? Will ask if enough people think its a good idea?

Here's some info on it ..

Very interested! Sounds like a plan to me!

Flying Fortresses.. Saw one at the local airshow last month... beauty.

[NickSRi]

I think it maybe a tall order to get the 'Sally B' to land there...

It's a good site to look around though if your into WWII airfields.. Relics of old buildings, residential huts etc still evident..

A nice long runway to 'floor' your motor on !!

Ye, me and my V6 will have a picnic there Could always get chased by a rozzer too

Chases? ....Oh yes, now that would make a fun photo, video shoot

[Cavalier342]

You must have watched The Bill

In my opinion, still the program with the most realistic car chases in it.

Being as its private land, sure lets do the scene ... Also, if anyone wants the 'blues n two's' experience, hop in the drivers seat, drive off and play

[btcctroy]

Lets do it

I love it when a plan comes together who else said that

[Cavalier342]

It's not too far for us southerners also.. This could actually work...

perhaps we can start a thread on the Events & Meets forum?

[Pilky]

count me in hell yeah!

[NickSRi]

Ok... I will be asking the land owner at the weekend..

Not quite a 'Top Gear' test track, but as near as we can get one

[Lowrider Dave]

Sounds like an excellent idea. I'll bring along my camera equipment and my GoPro so we can do some on car filming. Be great to do different set ups involving the police car and general club car layouts.

.....and time trial's over distance

The runway is just shy of a mile

[Cavalier342]

Well now 1/4 mile just starts to ring a small bell......

Don't quote my on the distance, I'm kinda guessing here....

[James McGrath]

You can count me in for this.
