Mark if that is the original colour Aqua but re-sprayed - its quite rare. I know of one in London and one on the Isle of Wight.

Hi Frank, have you had any luck with flights yet for the National? East Midlands might be nearest but dont know which lowcost flights go there.

it's like you were in my thoughts Lou!!! I don't know as the only available airports are luton gatwick and manchester, luton and gatwick cheapest manchester double the price but orkney told me that if I go to luton or gatwick I will still spend the same amount I save from going to Manchester on transportation! I'm really getting confused!

Gatwick is the farthest away, south of London, Luton is just above London and Manchester is quite a way northwestof where you're tying to get to. Birmingham would be the nearest dont they do any cheap flights in/out., when we go to Malta we use Birmingham have you tried BMI baby? I think Ryanair go to East Midlands.

Had a look at the map. If you fly to Luton, theres a train station that has a direct link to a place called Kettering. Then a taxi to Stamford Hall which is 22 miles (or perhaps one of the websiters could pick you up from Kettering station? ) Sorry cannot offer would if I could but I have got to help build the Regalia Stand! Hope this helps

Had a quick look on "the Web"! train fare Luton to Kettering in the region of £20 (£19.10 at the moment) depends what time the flight get in the trains leave Luton 12.53 13.53 and 14.53 (afternoon) and get to Kettering 13.27. 4.27 and 15.27 p.m. So it only takes just over half an hour. You can book you train on the web using a credit card
just enter "train Luton to |kettering" like I did, when you know which flight you'll be on. Good luck. I cant tell you about taxis as I'd have to go to Kettering and ask a taxi driver!!!!
