Nice!
I was an apprentice mechanic at a garage which owned a Le Mans Bentley, I'd love to know what happened to it.

 

[Mel]

Just rang to book and said it was with the Woosies. The person on the other end said "nothing under that name". Help!

Sir Gab & Lady Gab
Sir Dustydog & Lady Villa
EH52ARH
Lightpole Man
Above already booked, no mention of a problem from them. Will ring Woodthorpe on Monday, Mel, see what's gone wrong.

 

[Parksy]

You could ask to be near to your friends who booked recently and give our real names

 

[Anseo]

When I booked and mentioned the Woosie's the lady had no idea who or what I was referring to, even after explaining.

 

[Dustydog]

I spoke a day called Alison who didn’t seem to know much about anything. I hung on for ages, eventually she said they knew about the Woosies and allocated me a fully serviced pitch.
The receipt misspelt my home town. Had to request a revised one. All fine now.
I guess it all depends who you speak to Mel :kiss:

 

[Mel]

I rang at 3:45, the person I spoke to said that they closed at 4:00, and to ring back tomorrow morning. Perhaps whoever I spoke to was keen to get home. I will try tomorrow and use real names as Parksy suggested.

.........I have booked using their on line booking system for 11th to 18th September.
I asked for pitch 7 or 8 to be near some of the other Woosies on the full serviced pitches.
I received a confirmation by email.....(no guarantees were given regarding the requested pitch)

Since I am interested in that sort of thing I was interested to learn Woodthorpe is in the corner of an old airfield.........RAF Strubby

I share your interest Bill. The caravan park was once occupied by the airfield technical site, and the old airfield is still used by a gliding club.
RAF Strubby started off as a RAF Coastal Command station before 619 sqdn moved in with Lancasters.
There's a memorial to 619 sqdn, who in the final days of World War 2 bombed Hitlers mountain retreat in the Bavarian Alps.
RAF Coningsby, home to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, is around 30 miles from the caravan park. Hangar tours are available to see the historic aircraft up close, the hangar is well worth the trip.
The East Lindsey Aviation Heritage Trail takes in RAF Strubby. I used to have a look around some of the old Bomber stations in Lincolnshire years ago when I was a lorry driver. I often took slight detours to have my lunchtime sandwiches close to old control towers or hutted flight offices, many of which have been demolished since.

Cheers Parksy,

I might just go down earlier or extend my stay, never been in that part of the world or had any connection to wartime aircraft, but sounds very interesting, I am more and more looking forward to the outing.

Any other tips for the area would be so nice to hear about.

Sir Haggis........the caravan on the right of the picture below is owned by Lightpole man.
Since the height of the mast mounted on the A frame is a danger to aircraft it has to be lit up during the hours of darkness......hence the Woosie name :lol:
