I'd come down on a daily basis... I dont live far, and if its gonna be hot, I like the luxury of a home shower and my own bed :D

I can come down every day if needed, if somebody says "Heres a job we need you to do" then sure, no prob's...

I just got of the phone with Tom! He's just got home again, having just got out of hospital again and now all is well. He can't do anything for the next 5 days to a weeks....And shouldn't be driveing / moving around that much for the next 2 to 4 weeks :?

So he's not going to be at the flying field for some time, but should be at the clubs night BBQ!

Spoke to Chris today, Dogs, not a good idea with my 2, their not exactly as chilled as rogers dogs unfortunately, so that knocks me out for Wed/Thur, so am now officially coming Fri/Sat/Sun, and am considering the "sleeping in your car" thing... Unless anybody got a spare tent space.. :?:

 

Wife is fine with me doing fri/say/sun Chris, so thats an "All stations go"... Just need to find something to do Friday huh?

I'll be available for sat or sun, on the bring and buy if that's ok. I.T.GUY --I have a two man tent you can have for keeps if you want it, and another two man tent which could be borrowed, p.m. me if you are interested,

Hi Alan

 

Thanks for the very kind offer of the tent, but I'm actually considering going home each night and coming back each morning, or kipping in the car fri/sat nights if there is at least a reasonable shower and food close by. A tent is great but then I need sleeping bag, kip mat etc, and it will only ever be used once, plus I have music/radio/power in the car for laptop/phone too..

 

As far as I know, Chris has put me down for bring/buy, so having a helper or three would be great, or should I say, you guys having me to help would be good, although it could turn into a "bring it and sell it to Richard" lol

 

Is anybody going to be shooting any video at the show to post on the web afterwards and show all those who dont come what there missing and what they WILL be signing up for next year?

 

If bring/buy is fully staffed then I'm happy to video/meet/greet visitors/trade stands and pilots over the weekend and try to put it into a promo video of some sort?

Well this is only a suggestion to all, I used to be a cameraman working on call with pinewood studios.

I have filmed various documentarys such as whats a carry on, Gerry andersons thunderbirds etc,

 

I currently have digital Betacam broadcast camera equipment, I think Richard and i could make a good camera crew,

 

Also Richard, Your computer editing skills would be paramount after the event, Probably a firewire download,

 

We could make a broadcast quality documentary of the whole show, As Richard said film the bring and buy, Trade stands,

Flight line, Behind the scenes, Red arrows, Training etc etc, With interviews etc etc,

 

Anyone we interview or film would have to sign to say we can use the footage as we want, ie promo utube etc,

 

I could bring the gear to the field on sunday for a test run,

 

What do you think, It is only a thought, But if we go ahead, It would be a full time job for at least two of us throughout the show, As there would be a lot of footage to get through,

 

Or as Richard said, Is there already something like this in place for the show,
