The weather forecast for saturday is wet and windy. How does that affect the programme Dave?

Might blow the props around and they could have all four running

Garry

[DaveB]

We're still in 'Go' mode as far as I'm aware Dennis. Not happy about the wet/windy forecast as I love nothing more than getting wet on the bike

If the plan changes at all, I'll let you know here

[Garry Russell]

When is the long reange forecast ever right

Usually the weather dows come but not at the time given

All you need is a few hours between deperessions, might be lucky

Garry

[DaveB]

Don't talk about depressions.. I'm depressed enough hearing it might rain

ATB

DaveB

[Garry Russell]

Ah yes but between depression you're on a high

Garry

[DaveB]

I wouldn't go that far either!

[Garry Russell]

You would have to call it way-out bridge

My dear old Mum passed away recently, and one of the things I found among her belongings, was a Vimy flown cover. Date-stamped 3rd June 1969 at Weybridge.

Stamped on the envelope is "VIMY Flown Cover. Brooklands Weybridge to Wisley Airfield Surrey. By VIMY G-AWAU. Piloted by D.G.(Dizzy)ADDICOTT"

The postage stamp has a picture of the Vimy, and heads of Alcock & Brown. It cost a grand total of 5d in real money. (Pre decimal)

A stamp on the back of the envelope states that it was collected & delivered by Securicor.

I'll try to scan it and post a shot on here. However, there's no guarantee that the old grey matter will respond in the affirmative.

I have seen it in the air, but I'd like to see it again.

Dennis.
