tangerine_sedge Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 In their email, they mentioned that they will be offering 2022 sneak peeks, so let the guesswork begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 One great improvement this year is that you don't have to play spot the date each day. As to the Vulcan experience a google search indicates that you have to get to Manchester for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Did this a bit last year as I recall... On the first day of Xmas Airfix gave to me, a minute chance to win a self funded journey to Manchester for a 5 minute ride in a Vulcan "simulator"... Airfix's idea of an advent calendar full of offers and giveaways is woeful. Edited December 1, 2021 by RobL 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the cheque from Channel 5 hasn't come through, yet. Although, thinking about it, who was paying whom for that series? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bradley Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Its only Day 2 - I'm sure they won't reveal any new kits until well into the second week. Remember a few years ago when someone hacked the site and revealed all the new kits on the first day? Probably don't want to be burned again like then. This is why we can't have nice things..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3DStewart Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) C'mon guys there's more to Christmas than just being interested in how we can benefit from it. See the 24 repeated days of disappointment as part of your personal fast and spiritual preparation for the joy of the 25th.

jenko Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Look on the bright side.... anything else will be a bonus see what tomorrow brings. In reality these seem to be designed for this forum to have a dig at, and every year we fall for it. Dick Time to do some modelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive prize. That's absolutely normal. A prize of a night at the theatre/cinema does not normally include the cost of getting there. My family gave me the present of a flight in an F-4 simulator some years back, but assumed I could get to Yorkshire myself. A prize of a trip on the Orient Express wouldn't include the cost of getting to Paris (or starting place of your choice). I grant you that it isn't terribly exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
