Concorde Experience at Museum of Flight, East Fortune

[jason]

I'm guessing it will be Linda de Costa who contacts you from the museum. I'm organising the group booking and permission to park next to the Vulcan for the Borders7 trip this coming Sat (I live only 5 mins away), and she is my point of contact. The folk at the museum are incredibly helpful

Jason,

Aha, good to make the connection with you as Saturday's organiser!

If I make it along, I will try to track you down to say hello. I'll hopefully be in my silver S1 Elise, reg UJI xxxx, with wee girl Eilidh in tow

cheers

Campbell

We'll be there this Sat from noon for most of the afternoon, Campbell. Be good to meet you

Jason, yes, Amanda said Linda will get in touch with me. What price did you guys pay for the group booking?

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,
D

ETA: I got a Nikon D50 in November, still haven't got a clue how to use it beyond auto

if you promise not to confuse me with the art of selling stuff, I will explain how to use your D50 properly

Good man! As mentioned in a thread last year, would love some proper tuition on Aperture, Shutter speed, panning properly etc etc, bought a really good field guide that you should have a read of Woody, but i think half an hour of David's time at KH would be ace!

Dave

well that's what I get for posting when drunk I suppose

BTW i'm only beginning to figure out how to photograph cars!

I have been a professional photographer for 15 years so show me a wedding, family, children, business people or models etc and I know what i'm doing, but none of them move as quick as a car

any knowledge I do have though I am more than willing to share

£7.65 or £5.85 (with/without Concorde Boarding Pass) if >10 folks. Not a huge discount but I'm not complaining - not as if it's a fortune (geddit?!) anyway.

Obviously, if you negotiate a better discount don't tell me..!! Will let you know our experiences after the visit

I'll probably make it dependant on the alfa trackday

Make what, Paul? Museum of Flight on Sat? If so, can you tell me if you want a Concorde Boarding pass booking?

Thanks for the linky Campbell, I'm happy to troop along on Saturday pm

Blushing at all the comments re my snaps though...

Now here's a thing...do you think, crash apart, that engine technology 30-odd years could have provided more efficient and/or quieter engines to enable Concorde to keep flying whilst upsetting fewer residents and becoming more commercial viable through reduced fuel usage?

They could probably have asked FBF to help change the heads, that would have helped a bit, no?

Oh yes... I can, sir Will book you a place tomorrow.

If you change your mind can you post it by Fri am on the Jock7s thread (more likely to spot it there ).
