RAF Waddington International Airshow - 2nd/3rd July

Post by foggyjames » 04 Feb 2011 02:26 am

The VOC has been asked to provide some cars for a stand at this year's RAF Waddington International Airshow.

I won't repeat myself at great length now, as I've just waffled here...
http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?p=832701
...but it would be great to see some 300s there, if you're free.

We do have to maintain a balance in numbers of each model, but we can probably find space for all the 300s likely to attend (he says...!).

cheers

There's a plan.

And a proper engineering design taking into account the failure mode. However, this amount of design work requires more beer fuelled evenings than I've had time for lately :lol: :lol: Have a few engineering shops quoting me for some sexy new engine mounts though but I imagine I'll end up machining them.
