The Thames Valley Farnborough Air Display BBQ






Today we had an event for the Farnborough Air Show.
Becky had arranged with her boss for the Thames Valley area to spend the day at her works offices in the staff car park watch the air display and bbq.
We started the day off by meeting at the Ely pub on the A30 just outside of Camberley, where we formed a convey of Hoods and tintops for the trip to Cove with Martin acting as rear gunner in his Sumo should anyone get lossed on route.
Becky went on ahead of the group to open up and set up. Once we had the ok from Becky that our route was free from all the air show traffic we set off .
We got to the office to find Becky already putting together the bbqs something she is very good at (drives me up the wall all them little nuts & screws GGGGRRRRR).
The air display started with the two Airbuses (340 & 380) followed by a number of fighter jets.
In the mean time both the bbq were alight and John our area sec wanted the display to stop so we could cook our food and not miss anything ( no hope of that happening lol!!)
After eating we all sat back and looked to the skys as the aircraft put on their show.
The fly by of the day had to be the Battle of Britain group
We even put on a display with our Hoods too!!!!!!!!!
