Plus Thanet Classics, I will be attending the Classic Show held at the Manston Spitfire/ Hurricaine Museum in April. 17th.... ...Me in my Pop and a friend in his Austin A30.. anyone else going?

Well, I still have property and land here in France, so I will only bring over what I will consider selling or restoring if I go on with this garage idea

I have 2 Hangars 10m x 25m each so idea for storage

I have got a house in Birchington as I liked the village and its near the sea.

Hi Greg
Not wishing to highjack the thread just a quick note.
I am also with thanetclassics (hatch dlm)
Manston show sounds good, used to deliver just up the road from the Spitfire museum.
Do you know if any of the thanet crowd attending.

Greeney, if you take up residence in Kent the Thanetclassics are a friendly bunch, some post on here as well

Hi Greeney

If you go to the "Show News" thread there is a post from Thanet about the club meetings.

I met a few of them for the first time just before christmas for the charity cruise.
I was made very welcome, and look forward to the next one.
Not been to one of their regular meetings about 3 hours away from me.

Hi Roger,
I don't know, unfortunately I moved away from the area before I found out about the Club, I did have a look on their website but couldn't find any mention of them going to the Show.
Are you going?
All the best,
Greg

Great to see you back here Nik.

I have just read your book 'False Accusations' and was horrified at your ordeal. Now we know why you disappeared from this site. I wish you all the best in trying to come to terms with the situation and that you will finally get over it.
