I have been organising weekly Motorcycle meetings for over 25 years .www.lincolnshirebikenights.com

On Wednesday 25th June 6pm onwards I have organised a motorcycle meeting at the

East Kirkby Aviation Center , south east of Lincoln, 53.140202, -0.002047 ( PE23 4DE )

This is the 9th year, I have organised this event, to raise money to keep and restore the Lancaster Bomber " Just Jayne ",:thumb:

Usually around 1800 Bikes attend, Classic, Vintage, Super Bikes, Cruisers, Trykes,Scooters etc. :Eeek:

The best bit is that, at 8 pm we start up the Lancaster Bomber " Just Jayne" ,

ALL 4 engines ! and it does aTaxi ride around the airfield ,

You can stand about 50 feet from the Lancaster , there is now where else that i know of that you can do this .:thumb:

If some Funsters would like to attend this event in your Motor Home ,
I have made arrangements for you to park over night if you wish in the car park ,
Ideal if you are going on to the coast or across to Misterton on the Thursday .

The cost is £5 per van this includes going into the center to look at the Museum , Hangers, visit the excellent NAFFI , etc

(Pleases have a look at their web site, http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/ )

P.S. it is not far from RAF Coningsby the Battle of Britain airfield and near to Woodhall Spa
where the Aircrews met up in the Petwood Hotel ( Bomber Room still as it was ,)
Camping across the road at the council run site with swimming pool ,
Jubilee Park Outdoor Swimming Pool Stixwould Road
Woodhall Spa, LN10 6QH ( 53.155559, -0.222112 ) http://jubileeparkwoodhallspa.co.uk/

The Law of Sod strikes again.:Sad:

At 8pm that same night I am running a music session just up the road in Louth, otherwise we would be there. I could delegate, but it wouldn't really be the right thing to do.

Have a great night. :thumb:

Sorry Graham,

I have a hospital appointment on Thursday, so Rita and I can't come over in the MH, en route to Misterton. :Sad:

See you on Friday. :thumb:

Cheers for now,

Jock.

They do seem to have all the disadvantages of a car and all the disadvantages of a bike.

I'd love to try one of the Grinnalls though.

The Real star.

But for me, a non biker, this was the star of the show and the sole reason for our visit to a great museum....... go visit, it has something for all generations particularly in this 70th anniversary year.

Thanks Bryan

On the first one i organised my Father went onboard for the start up and it was the first time he had been in Lancater with the engines running since he was 20 years old , :thumb:
