Hey boys and girls!
Farnborough Air Show is almost upon us, so I decided to start this thread about a possible a.nutters meet at the show.
As we all know the show runs on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 of July, I will be there on the saturday with some friends, so I hope to see some of you there!
More info on Farnborough Air Show can be found here

Someone at church gave me tickets--for both a public day and a trade day!
For the public show, I plan to go on Saturday all day. I haven't chosen which weekday I want to use my trade ticket on yet. As I'm doing a summer lab research project at Guy's Hospital (for which I won a grant), I would need to ask for one day off that week so I could take advantage of my unexpected trade ticket.

There's going to be many more, I remember talking about this with Ian, DL021, in Paris last year. Should be a laugh. Sadly Aerobalance can't make it as he has lab duties to attend to!
*Edit* Thought I'd add Smithair to the list as well!

I was really looking forward to going, but sadly I will not be able to attened as I'm going to Nigeria to collect the $20million that my great uncle Cuthbert left me in his will.
Have fun everyone - hope the weather is as good as it was last time.

Ahem... Contrary to Alex's opinion that the work at my lab prevents me from having a real life, I must say that me and my g/f will be at Farnborough for at least the Friday trade day. I need to aclimatize her into the aviation world and meeting a bunch of a.nutters is the worst way to do it

I'll be in MUC over that time, so a trip to Farnborough shouldn't be out of the question. Any cheap LCCs that would fit the bill?

Quoting Planesarecool (Reply 19): Not sure about your dates, but i found $914 on Mytravel, arriving at Gatwick on July 17th, departing July 28th. Their A330's are a pretty good ride
Thanks for your research.
Unfortunately, if i were to go it would be just for the weekend, 2 nights tops. The dates that i looked into were the actual show dates. And yes the 330 would be a good ride.

Hey Andy, if your going to travel all the way from downtown YOO to go to Farnborough, I might have to see if I can talk the accountant into letting me go too!
