Timetable:
10.30 Multi start point scenic runs from Swindon, Abingdon, Longbridge and Boughton Ashton. Cars arriving from 10.30 onwards.
10.30 The Barn-Ettes girl singing group.
11.00 Bonneville MGZTT Land Speed Record car project X-15 static thunderous Engine start. The car will be fired up the car three times during the day, at 11.00, 13.00 and 15.15. The 11.00 start-up will be the most interesting as the engine has to be pre-heated and pre-pressurised before it can be started, a procedure which takes about 15 minutes. At races that all takes place behind closed doors, so this will prove interesting if you have not seen it before. The start-up procedure is only necessary on the first start, so the 13.00 and 15.15 starts will be more straightforward
12.00 The Barn-Ettes girl singing group.
13.00 Bonneville MGZTT Land Speed Record car project X-15 static thunderous Engine start.
13.51 precisely Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Supermarine Spitfire flypast. (Weather and operational restrictions permitting)
14.00 The Barn-Ettes girl singing group.
15.00 Prize giving for Pride of Ownership and Furthest Travelled Award on Peter James Insurance stand.
15.15 Bonneville MGZTT Land Speed Record car project X-15 static thunderous Engine start.
