VE-Day model commemorative event Tibenham UK 8/5/15

Dear All

I am pleased to announce that we will be holding

A 70th anniversary of VE-Day Commemorative Event,
which will be an any Scale/Warbird/Jet meet at Tibenham Airfield on Friday the 8th of May 2015.
Scale Aerobatic will also be welcome, scale foamies are also welcome.

By kind permission of the Norfolk Gliding Club

Three (smooth) tarmac runways in various directions

As this is the first of three model events that are planned to be held at Tibenham
this year, this one is being run on a per head basis, as I did not think there would
be the support for three events.

I am very grateful to the NGC for allowing it to go a head on this basis.

Pilots £10
Spectators £2
There is no charge for overseas visitors.


A one minute silence will be held at midday for the fallen from all sides.


Proof of BMFA or LMA insurance will need to be provided on the day.

Food, Drink, Bar and Toilet facilities are available at the club house.


Hopefully we will get a bit of a turnout for this.
I am really pleased we are being allowed to hold it,
after all it was a momentous day in history.

Caravan and camping facilities are available at Tibenham airfield.
Thank you.

Dear All
Steve Rickett has signed up for this event,
below is a picture of his magnificent Boston.

I think you might agree it is a fantastic looking model.

My good friend Graham B. of Tiger models has also signed up for the VE-Day event.
A picture of his P47 Big Ass Bird, which he sold.
A big mistake that.

Regards Phil G.

Dear All
I am pleased to inform you that Ali will be attending this event on Friday.

It will be lovely to see him again and to witness his superb flying skills
before he finally does depart these shores.

I am hoping to make an announcement tomorrow regarding something
I have been trying to arrange for the last ten years.
Hopefully the planets are aligned and this time it will come off.

The picture below is of Ali flying his C17 at the former RAF Coltishall in 2008

Dear All
It is the 71st anniversary of D-Day, today the 6th of June.
The 6th of June 1944 is a momentous day in history..

We owe all those who took part a debt of gratitude that
we can never possibly repay.

When you go home, tell them of us and say
For their tomorrow, we gave our today.

Lest we forget.

Regards Phil G.
