Wearing baggy jeans and trousers in order to hide our electronic ankle tags, the CBFS brigade were out on day release back in 2004.

I've not seen the pics on here for a while so here they are again in all their glory...

That long ago? Where does the time go? Remember climbing all over G-AIDL with Dave B getting photos for my Rapide. Good day out. :agree:

Brilliant. For those of us who joined later or who have never met could put some names to the faces please?

Left to right (1-9) in the 1st image...

I'm number 7 and Plama (Lee) is number 6. He's not on here often at all but is still flying. Also one of my two best men for my wedding B-)
Pretty sure 8 is Dave Maltby and 9 is Dave B :)

Thats exactly who it was! Gerry was a great painter. And Sav - Gauges (not in the photos)

Not sure what happened to the Prentice we were up in (with Trev Clark). But the TwinPin seems to have been without wings for years. Not even sure what aircraft are left sitting there now. :(
