VIP at Scampton on Friday?

Post by AJGdambuster » Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:27 pm

Anyone know who or what was happening at Scampton on Friday PM?
All the Reds plus Circus and lots of others were gathered outside the hangars. There was filming going on and on the scanner was heard 'Charlie wants to do his piece to camera on the ground' ?
Three Reds put on a mini display but there were a lot of people milling around the Apron/ hangar area. I'd just popped up to enjoy any Reds displaying. Someone in the viewing area said , and I quote, " I know who's here, it's not Royalty but I'm not allowed to say"

I know something that you don't know 'repeat three times whilst skipping away' :unsure:

Love that Lukes post on twitter "His dad met Lewis Hamilton and drove his F1 car and then his dad flew him in a Red Arrow" Hmmm I'm positive none of the Reds pilots are old enough to have a son of 16 or how ever old that Luke is? Maybe meeting Lewis is true I'm not sure.

Not that I am defending anybody but the reds ages range from 31-40 so its very possible one of them has a 16 year old son.
