Title: Fiton Airfield
Post by: Bulldog Bri on 25, February, 2013, 10:08:04 PM
I've been told by one of the lads at work who's into military vehicles, that the British legion (Little Stoke) and the MVT (Military Vehicle Trust) are trying to put a Motor show together on the old airfield at Filton.

They now have a date pre-booked for the event as the 8-9th June and the invite has been extended to us to come and join in.

Could be a good day and not to far to go (for most)

Anyone interested, I am.  ;D

Yes I'm up for this. Especially as they seem hell bent on building houses all over the runway. End of an era >:( Be great if they could set up a track course on the same day.

I'm keen - a little traffic cone track/autosolo thingy would be excellent too!

I'm up for it. I even work there. But I will say that only today I was working on a very lovely old plane (that is rotting at a very quick rate & desperately needs to go indoors  :'() parked next to it & while doing so I was watching the runway is being ripped appart in random spots all the way up the length of it. Its looking like it's been bombed in a war.  :(
The germans tried & failed, So someone who is probably is going to make lots of money from this has managed to do a better job.
So unless they you bring some tarmac with you there won't be any fast runs on it.  :'(
PS Sorry this post sound abit doom & gloom.

Yeah, I work next to the airfield as well and have seen these holes being dug in the runway but from what I hear it's still gonna be a while before they get around to building on this part so in the meantime a show is being orginised to make use of the area.

It's only a few months away so should be ok this year.

Better get your karting practice in on the airfield a bit quick, the event is on Sat morning.  That only leaves you tomorrow to brush up on your lines before taking on the might of the Krazyken Piston Broke team!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
