Number 6 is silly, dilutes the others. 2/2/22 will be a Wednesday. Other than that, pretty entertaining and not entirely without truth

According to his profile, Joe was last active on here at 2.03am (whatever time I set it to for me, could be CET) on Saturday (13th).

It's the F-5s that 'do it for me'. Good to see them still flying. :) Unfortunately, it was the last year of the F-5 in an interceptor role.

Thanks for the comments guys - Eric, do you upload yours anywhere? I've never been to Edinburgh, would be interesting to see.

And that's coming from someone who lives in Switzerland B-) How I should have got there (still waiting to see if I can get a refund, either from the credit c...
