Off to Oldham this weekend hopefulluy

So I was informed by Dad on Friday a lad from the hangar had been chatting to a work college of dads on his Thomas Cook shift at Manchester about The Yanks are back in Saddleworth up near Oldham and dad asked a few questions and decided we might leg it in full dress to the show provided its not raining. I had previously a while ago had a flyer for this event but due to work commitments sadly we didn't go but this will be a first.



The work colleague from the hangar explained its the whole town of Saddleworth comes out to play for 2 days and there are vehicles everywhere and reenactors even the town get dressed up which is just a 50 minute drive from base as it the Stockport side of Manchester. The fee is 6ish quid at the school for the event and was also informed that it was featured in some war film or something and that it is expected to be as always as he lives up that way a cracking event. We where advised to park in the Tesco superstore upon arrival tomorrow and we are looking forward to it with the 3 of the team going.

So Friday we checked the weather and rang team member number 3 to see if they wanted to go with us. An ultimatum was reached if we ring on the day (which is Sunday) we are going if we don't Sunday becomes another Project day to work on phase 2 the chassis which the body is now in storage so we can start phase 2 and then mate the two together later
