Access to a live MOD site like this very rarely available and full details to follow including times we plan to arrive. Obviously it's a live MOD base so rocking up 3 hours early won't be an option. The original limit of 20 has been extended to 50 cars and Mike Trotter has been kind enough to extend us an invitation. For more details or to book your place, please use the link below: https://www.porscheclubgb.com/regions-registers/regions/north-west/cumbria-south-west-scotland/events/2023/june/raf-spadeadam-visit Apologies everyone but as this is a sort rate opportunity for the club, we must insist on Porsches only attending. Please only take reserve a place if you can make it as places are very limited Dave post edited by g_woodward - 2023/05/22 12:23:41 R3 North East - Regional Organiser Register & Technical Director Cayenne S (GL11 PPP) Turbo Cabriolet (K442 EUU) 1992 - SOLD 500 Abarth Competizione 180 2019 - SOLD 986 3.2 Project Car (Speed Yellow) 2003 944 2.5 Auto (POE 85R) 1983 - SOLD Quote Reply #1 List Solutions Only 17 Replies

For some reason PCGB emails along with other legitimate emails are going into my junk folder and by chance found it there. Really excited about this visit 😀 This site was at the forefront of uk’s missile program after the war. Have a look on google earth to see the fascinating stuff scattered around which is easier now due to the deforestation these last few years. Quote Reply #11

Spadeadam site is (was) also the site for British Gas Research & Development (where I used to work) and I've seen a few planned gas explosions at the site.....very impressive when you can feel the heat from over a mile away..

I'm guessing Hexham services (BP/Starbucks/Greggs) would be appropriate, but what time?......Dave can you advise, thanks. Quote Reply #14

Don't forget to factor in it will be rush hour and the long stretch of average speed cameras from Haydon Bridge to Haltwhistle. 2022 Cayenne E Hybrid 2022 718 Spyder 2002 911 996 Cab 2001 911 996 C2 1991 944 Turbo Cabriolet Alpine White 1984 924 white 1980 911 SC 3.0 White. 1999 Boxster 2.5 Quote Reply #16

I agree with Greg that because of after work traffic we should meet earlier and leave no later than 6.15pm to respect Mike's wishes of getting there by 7pm prompt. Remember there will also be heavy traffic getting 'to' Hexham services so I'm planning to leave early and be at Starbucks by 5.30pm. Don't forget your photo i.d. ; PCGB number etc. Quote Reply #17
