Bongo Fury

Anyone fancy this? http://www.truckfest.co.uk/truckfest-peterborough
Camping is from Friday midday to Tuesday 10am, although I'll have to leave on the Monday afternoon - unfortunately no electric hook-ups. Cost is £76.25 for weekend (2 adults and 2 kids), including camping, fireworks and entertainment.

Just where are you going to get another adult and 2 kids from?

Or should that be another kid and 2 adults??

I don't think you'll see truck racing there as it's just a show.

You need to go down to the A.14 or A.1 to see the trucks racing.

Alas no racing, but you should see the pimping they do
What I do find puzzling is, if you look at the gallery page http://www.truckfest.co.uk/gallery , there is a picture of a Wellington Bomber

Might do a day visit but need to run it past my driver... I mean ... Andy

There's a little 4x4 coming as well http://www.truckfest.co.uk/weekend-camping
As a day visitor, you'll miss the fireworks and Showaddywaddy

From just outside near the Harvester Pub place you can still see the fireworks and not see Showaddywaddy.

Yep twice as many engines and twice as many tailplanes as a Wellington and John old enough to have seen both sorts returning from day (well night actually) trips to Germany as well.

Yep - I know it was a Lancaster , no idea why I put Wellington - yet another of those increasingly common senior moments I blame my slykdestic fingers
