Visit to Hawker Restorations, Sunday 28th October

[Simpo Two]

At long last and with the help of Paul (pk500) it looks like we may have this trip off the ground (no pun intended!).

I visited them with the Spitfire Society some years ago and anyone who's interested in engineering will find it fascinating. Paul tells me they currently have three 'planes there and some old racing cars as well (sorry, don't know what kind!). The place is about three miles south east of Lavenham.

We need to know numbers so that a local pub can be arranged - please reply here or PM if you prefer.

(This visit will replace the normal PHEA meeting for October)

[Ian V]

Me please ( although I think you know that).

On second thoughts, we could meet at the Gardener's Arms at Tostock for an early lunch and then convoy down for 2.00 pm - HR is 10 miles due south through a maze of country lanes.

Who's got the satnav then?!

i love to come on this, so i'll put my name down. i'll probably be in my 'normal' car as i'm not that confident the ginetta will make it without being troublesome.(its ok, i'll hide the skoda at the back out of sight!)
i went to lavenham last weekend via the back lanes from great barton, and you are right, it is indeed quite a maze! (though gorgeous!)

That's 12 so far and one possible - any more?

ETA Spies report FOUR Hurricanes currently being restored there. After last months crash at Shoreham, there are now only 11 flying in the world.

Blimey, if we are up to 19 I had better speak to Stan at the Gardeners again. I thought that 10-15 would cover us ! Can you keep me posted on numbers please John.

[Simpo Two]

Paul pk500- as all communications are going through you, and we have over 20 people booked to attend, can you just confirm that this visit is definitely on and that he can cater for over 20 people? Thanks!

I'll be coming too. I haven't been to a meeting before but this sounds very interesting. I should be in my TVR 280i.

[Simpo Two]

Long time no see Richard!
