Re: Impromptu meet.
If anyone is interested there are tours you can book in advance to go on Concorde starting from £12.50 per person.
going up to about £45 per person.

A dozen or so Bongos on a day meet at Manchester Airport, paying for the Concorde Tour, say 20 or so people @ £12.50 a hit.
The Bongos getting privileged parking in a semi-circle below the nose for a photoshoot.
Bliss.
I'm up for that!!
Sort it jakuzi mafia dudes.

Re: Impromptu meet.
OK, what we need to do is this:
1) Persuade a major camping magazine to run an article on Bongos. Article headline is 'A Classic in the Making?' . Link to Concorde is that it is another classic they ain't making any more.
2) Persuade owners of Concorde display in Manchester that they will get great coverage and potential boosted sales if they allow a line up of Bongos to be photographed with Concorde looming over them. Make sure the article is able to carry a footnote saying 'Entrance to Concorde is £X or £Y in advance, and campsites giving easy travelling to Concorde are at X, Y and Z'
....then wait and see if H&S can be flexible. Could be a great article and a great photo. I wonder if De Bongomeister has the clout to suggest to C&CC magazine that they run the article. Muz would I am sure take them some excellent pics to choose from, for a modest commission. We could even offer help with factual stuff when they write the article.
