First up, TSSC SEM meet at Leatherhead 10-11th May - anyone going?
Next up, there will be a show at Newark Air Museum (Peterborough)-
"Tribute to the Spitfire" - the Rolls-Royce powered one.
It's over a weekend of the 17th and 18th May. The organiser was interested
if any Triumph drivers would be interested in attending. I don't think any
clubs have any plans for this.
Easiest for me to paste what was sent to the NASS list:

So, a possible photo opportunity? Certainly sounds interesting. If I can
get to a Spit up close I'd be over the moon. I think I might go, even if
there isn't - being a bit of an WW2 figher nut myself. An opportunity to
see the Spitfire fly is always good. Nothing else sounds as good as a
Merlin fly past...
