Hi guys

Sorry, this isn't deliberate (honest!) but there is yet another aero open day, this time in August and at Watts Bridge again near Esk.

Myself and James (34by151) were going to go along but if I can get enough people interested we can make it another meet. You may recall one of our fellow members Pete flew into Watts Bridge last year on their annual fly in day? Well this time it is going to be even bigger as it is their offical Open Day for the year.

Another excuse for a nice cruise out in the country in our Jaguars and open them up on the open roads?

Either way I'll be going for a look if anybody else is keen your welcome too

Here is last year's meet we did there:

My apologies chaps! In my excitement for planes I forgot we already have a meet for August:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...august-163151/

So there will be no Jag meet at Watts Bridge on the 27th. My apologies for the confusion

 

Paul, things always clash.
I would like you to keep the Watts Bridge meet going.
My thing is a local car show I have committed to at a school fete, I would love to make Watts Bridge but can't again this year.
The school my wife works at and our kids attended for a number of years so we have committed to that for the day.

 

No probs bud!

We are back on!

 

Hi Paul,
I'd love to come for a run out. Happy to meet up in Caloundra and head out together.
Keep me in the loop please.

 

Yeah no worries mate.

Watch this space as we get closer to the date.

So far:

1) 34by151
2) paulyling
3) 9LIVES

 

Paul, send me a message if you want the forum banner. I will post it up to you, or drop it in if we head up the coast before then.

 

Sounds good Clarke. Cheers.

 

Should be a great weekend, will be good to see a good rollup of Jags
I will be in my latest purchase...hopefully this pic comes inserts ok
sorry I have not been able to get out on a drive of late, I thought I had semi retired...Make sure you make yourself known at Watts



latest 9 cylinder Jag

 

Will do Pete. Will be good to catch up mate.

I will look for the Messerschmitt! (is that what it is?)

By the way, how is the XK8 going?

 

Nice new toy there Peter. I won't make Watts Bridge again, but will catch you at another event in the future.
I had a beer in my garage with a guy who used to work for you a couple of weeks ago. Greg Thompson, top bloke.

 

 

Hi guys

Just under two weeks to go. I will be leaving Dicky Beach and heading inland (if my ole girl is up and running) via Peachester if anybody would like to meet up along the way.

Should be a great turn out.

So far going:

1) paulyling
2) 34by151
3) gardcycl (via his magnificent flying machine)
4) 9 LIVES


9 LIVES if you would like to PM me we can work out a meeting time bud. Should be a good day weather pending!

 

Hi Paul, I will drop the banner off when I am at James's place Friday re gassing the air con.
Hope you guys have great day out.

 

cheers mate. yeah sorry I couldn't meet you at James. Mr Mom's lifestyle is one hectic one thats for sure bud!

 

That is what she does all that time you are at sea!

 

I think it's more like "Daddy Day Care" !!!!

Cheers

More like One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest...

 

Heh guys

Looks like the admission fee is going to be $25 at the gate or $20 online:

Brisbane Valley Airshow | Jets-Warbirds-Aerobatics-Helicopters-RAAF

It doesn't say exactly but looks like the events start at 10am judging by their countdown.

Those that are going are we keen to all get there at 10am?

I am meeting 9 LIVES at the BP servo on Steve Irwin Way, Glenview. It takes about 1 hour and a half to get to Watts Bridge from there so maybe leave at the meeting point by 8:30am we should be fine?

Going to cut through Peachester, down near Woodford and out from there. Beautiful country drive if the weather holds up.

What do you guys think?

And to confirm that is Saturday the 27th of August.

 

Heh guys:

Here is the updated info on their website for anybody interested:

Brisbane Valley Airshow | Jets-Warbirds-Aerobatics-Helicopters-RAAF

I will be car pooling with James in his XJR as my XJS is currently playing up.

Is anybody else keen to come along?

So far we have:


1) paulyling
2) 34by151
3) gardcycl (via his magnificent flying machine)
4) 9 LIVES

Admission is $25 at the gate or $20 online prepaid.

Should be a good turn out, even if there are minimal jags coming
