We haven't got confirmation from one of the venues so I don't want to encourage anyone to buy airline tickets until our plan is solidified.
I'll email the US folks that I know would like to move quickly as soon as we know. Otherwise, as Rob says, the announcement will be on the 15th.

What a GREAT place we have for the meet! Unbelievable!You are just gonna love this. I really shouldn't pass out any more details.  But dammit, why not? (Edit by Rob V: Oh no you don't, matey!) . It's great! The venue is (Censored), the world-famous home of (Censored), (Censored), and of course the unbelievable (Censored). We will be able to (Censored) (Censored) (Censored), and then there is the possibility to (Censored) which everyone with an interest in (Censored) cannot fail to appreciate. Of course, there are also the (Censored) and the (Censored), which will all be part of the event! Great!! Oh, I'm so excited I could (Censored).

DATE UPDATE
Folks, we promise this will be the last change, but the opportunity of a great venue came up at the last minute for the weekend of September 15th - 18th. The main meet itself will take place on the 16th and it'll be something pretty special I think! We have a great itinerary of events planned starting Friday evening so if you can make the long weekend it'll be more than worthwhile!
We already booked the venue and we're going there on Tuesday to pay a deposit. So, those wishing to book flights before the official announcement next Saturday can do so with reasonable security now, or with total security after Tuesday. Hopefully the slightly later dates will make it easier for our US owners to get a good air fare.
Hope to see you all there!
Rob

It is now after Tuesday (in the UK, at least). Is it safe for us to purchase airfare for this now?

But that's the great attraction, I meet a type of person I'd never normally meet, but whose company I greatly enjoy. After all, the people who I do normally meet, consider me to be a geek!

You can assume that I'll be doing my very best, but being in the doghouse for mucking up our holidays once this year, I think I'll wait to see what (censored)(censored) and a few of the other (censored)'s are, before broaching the subject!

I'd normally be track laying on Snowdonia that weekend, but I'll try and aim for the full monty in September, before trying to swap track laying parties.
I aim to do one or the other, but probably not both.

OK, so I assume the runway at Duxford can take a herc, so that the chinook is not needed?

I may well be the only person on this site who has already flown in a Dragon Rapide: It's like an aerial massage machine, but one of the best looking 'planes of all time.
