This will be our 8th event at this location dedicated to the memory of one of our members, Emma Jane Radford, who passed away 22-04-04, aged just 26. We'll also be raising money for the Papworth Hospital Cystic Fibrosis unit which looked after Emma. Last year we raised over £600.00.

In addition to approx. 100 Buells, there'll be Italian bikes from Aprilia, Cagiva, Ducati, Morini and Moto Guzzi. British bikes will include Brough Superior, Hesketh and Vincent.

The event will include a Lancaster bomber taxi-run. If you like Rolls Royce V12 Merlin engines at full chat and red-blooded V-twin motorcycles, you'll really appreciate this event!

Provisional timetable:
10.30 am: Start time
1.00 pm: Avro Lancaster bomber taxi-run
3.00 pm: Avro Lancaster bomber taxi-run
Time TBC: RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Flypast

The admission charge is £7.00 per person – but girls on bikes get in free.

Note: if you're arriving in a group of two or more bikes would you please collect your entrance money together and hand it to a nominated person within your group before you arrive. This would help to speed up your entrance to the event and help us on the gate. Thank you!

The Aviation Centre has full catering facilities.

Just checking Chris
? "girls on bikes get in free" ? is that under 18s (girls proper) or females of whatever age (girls colloquial)?

[Chris Jessop]

I do apologise for the delayed reply - I must visit here more often.

In memory of Emma it applies to all female riders and pillions, with no age restrictions.

I`m well chuffed to be going this year as my bruv has just moved into his new pad just 12 miles away,so riding up on friday evening and staying over friday and saturday and therefore don`t have to leave early or arrive late .

[dizzyblonde]

I'm peed off I can't make it this year. Takes me three weeks just to get a babysitter
Its so near to the event I'm organising with the SVers, I'd be scared to ask for any more day passes, in case granny blows her stack

Hope you get more than the record ten raptors last year.....tad optimistic

Bung every one in the car and make a family outing of it,you can`t start em young enough you know .

[dizzyblonde]

We did that last year when I was preggers. Fella took my VRap down and I drove with the eldest. I'd be on my own this time and no fun with two of em, especially as my bike wouldn't be present, the OH is at work.
Eldest loved it last year, we all did, its a great day out, just not with babba in tow on yer tod.

[AZ]

Fairy nuff,i can understand that having 2 sprogs myself,no fun if you have to do what the kids want all day with no rest untill you get back home.
