As a followup to the successful visit to the Newark Air Museum and the "VC10 BBQ" at the East Midlands Aeropark in 2014 "KoolFlyer" and I were mulling over a suitable event for 2015
. Thinking that Aeroplanes and Zed's always seem to be a very popular combination... How about meeting up at the Cold War Jets Open Day at Bruntingthorpe (LE17 5QS), just south of Leicester?
The next Cold War Jets Open Day is on Sunday 30th August 2015. The days are open to the public and the gates open typically at 9am, with the first taxi run at approx 11am. Admittance is £15 for adults, £10 for OAP’s and disabled, with accompanied children under 16 years old free of charge, all payable on the gate on the day.
A proposed itinerary could be:
Meet in the Six Hills Hotel car park (post code LE14 3PD) at 8:45 leave at 9:00, then cruise down the quiet back-roads to Bruntingthorpe on the East side of Leicester, if there is interest from those coming from the South we could also have a meeting point closer to Bruntingthorpe so we all arrive (and park up) together.
It should be a really good day out, providing our British Summer is in full swing by then, so bring a picnic, sit in the sun and watch some "Heavy Metal" thundering down the runway - and don't forget the ear defenders for those of a sensitive disposition
Just to wet your appetite take a look at this Cold War Jets Compilation from 6/5/12 at Bruntingthorpe (Copyright jetnoiseforever)

I'll keep a log of the names for everyone who is thinking of coming and will post a more detailed route closer to the event.
