I think you need more than a full face helmet mate. Locking up would be high on my list of priorities :lol:

Sadly, no outings for me this weekend.. I've already had to duck out of my sisters 60th being held in Yorkshire :worried: At least the forecast is good so you should have a nice day out ;)

Just around the corner.

If you want to say 'hello', drop me a pm.
I believe we met up a few years back.

Just like to add, 'Flightsim 2010' is taking place a Duxford this weekend.

How'd it go?

We got to within 2miles by 10am, the next mile however took 2hours 30mins so had to give up and turn around 8)

Absolutly shocking traffic. New plan of attack is to attend Sunday waking up early and leaving at 6am to assure enterance! *-)

Sorry I did not read your post re meeting, prior to going.
Well my thoughts on the show.
on the plus side, stunning. It was worth the money just to see 16 Spits going at it all at once, the noise was wonderful :excited:
The Belgium F16 put on a super display as did everything that took to the air, 4 Hurricanes and a Me 109 (Spanish version) blasted around the sky at the same time, Sally B looking as graceful as ever, the BBMF were excellent and brought the crowd to silence with their visual prescence. The Red Arrows minus one were exciting as usual. The Typhoon was noisey if not impressive compared to the F16.
Others not mentioned but not forgoten.
Now the show was a sell out they had to shut the gates!! We got in early and left before the French turned up so we were away with no trouble.
Down side.....
Well I have to have amoan so here goes, Having to pay to go on static aircraft that are free normally is a no go as far as I am concerned. Also £4 to walk the flightline was a bit mean as well, I guess they made a fortune on entrance fees alone today and will do so Sunday, surely making the airliners free to go on would encourage others to go again when its quieter?
Anyway all in all a great show my vcamera was very busy getting some great out of focus shots of bugger all due to havinga fault...me using it :hide:
Looking at all the cameras out there I felt like a midget at a porn shoot!
