Really enjoyable evening with good company. The only thing they wouldn't let you sit in, was the TSR, but, you could get right in there to take photos.

Thanks to Tony, Gregg and my mum for making it a fun night.

Pics to follow, lots to go through.


EDIT:

Here you go

The light levels actually gave the opportunity for some DIFFERENT shots of the aircraft!:

Like I said, it was a really good evening and well worth a tenner. I'd definitely do it again, especially if they open the Valiant!
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

As Gaz says above really good evening. Shame we couldnt sit in the TSR2 but I did get to sit in a few of the others, amongst them, the Gnat, Jaguar, AVRO 707 and Prone Meteor (normal cockpit).

I'll definitely go back for another one, definitely worth a tenner and a long drive!! Finally got home about midnight after leaving at 9pm.

Good to catch up with Gaz, Greg and Gaz's mum... See you at the next one and hopefully Brunty at some point!

I havent even downloaded the pics to my computer yet, will do that later.
