Well I reckon it's about time we had a meet don't you folks?

It's been a while since we've had an AONW 'family' day out so let's go for the Saturday on bank holiday weekend for this one and bring all the wives & kids etc along New venue this time as well - the Aviation Viewing Park at Manchester Airport where we can see all the planes coming and going at close range. Yeah I know, very nerdy but it's a good day out, honest

http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/m...nt/ViewingPark

Full info on the link but there's plenty to see there as well as a souvenir shop full of stuff for the kids. Entry is £4 for a car and driver, then £1 for each passenger. They also do guided tours on CONCORDE - check out the times etc

I reckon we go for an early afternoon start, maybe 2pm, ***NOTICE - NOW MEETING AT 4PM*** then we can all have an early tea at a really nice pub called the Romper just round the corner from the viewing park:

So who's up for it then?

    Oh bl00dy hell not the viewing park (again for me)...Lisa will be straining at the leash to go. She has a thing about airports that bores the arse off me......we'll probably be coming and I'll be hating it....

Re: Planes, no trains, but lots of automobiles
we tried to get gaz gtv's 'special' friend to pop one of 'em out (or rather milowokie did) in true masonic fashion but she was having none of it no wait, was it milowokie? or was it wscwunda? or it might've been me, can't remember now
