I've been told by the guys at Coningsby that there are tickets available for this event, and I'm currently speaking to them as to the exact number we want.
If you are interested in the event, please post a reply in this thread stating so. In the event that there is far higher demand than available tickets, members will be selected via random draw, the same as was done for the last event.
Tickets will cost £15 each - payment details to come later once we've sorted out who has a ticket.
Please note - you must be able to satisfy the following to attend (direct from the RAF Coningsby document):As in previous years, the Enthusiasts Day 2012 will comprise various static displays including the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight, the Tornado and the Typhoon. There is also the opportunity for a tour of the various Gate Guardians at RAF Coningsby and new this year we will give you an insight into the pilots briefing and debriefing process to give a better understanding of the daily life of a Typhoon pilot.
I should know very shortly how many tickets we have for the forum and then we can go about allocating them.Entrance will be by previously acquired ticket ONLY. Tickets are named and numbered.
