Hello John,

I wasn't able to join the R24 group that visited Wing Commander Wallis but wonder whether it is planned for a regional presence at the Old Buckenham Airfield celebration with a 'convoy' drive there?

 


Chris

Nothing planned for a Regional convoy etc (received notice to late to organise) Since the committee will be meeting on this date to organize the 2014 schedule can I suggest that anyone who wishes to attend adds their name to this post. Then you can contact each other to organise a drive etc if you wish.
