Careful Gaz, JCs are very addictive ! Just ask the 558 engineers

any report on your day at Coningsby ? From what Minty wrote, a mixed bag weatherwise ?

by **Hihonyr8811** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:06 pm

I spent most of the day in the car sulking because my camera wouldn't work :((

Great to hear the BBMF passed their PDA $\:D/$ :ymapplause:

The sun shone on them :ymapplause:

Thank you to Paul for taking me

Indeed! He is a very pretty boy

ANYWAY

Lots of flying, the 4 ship typhoon flypast was nice. I've got photos, but, grey aircraft against a grey sky = not good photos

Thats a shame, 7 miles away here it was a beautiful day we didn't have any rain and only 1 short period of cloud.

There were quite a few Typhoons that came over

Cloud seemed to linger until well after lunch, then it hammered it down, then the sun came out

That's a shame Gaz. I wonder if Clunes managed to get some decent shots ? Somehow I suspect that he did

Im sorry but Cluny can't come to the computer right now as he still is a drooling , dribbling mess after PA474 landed on him this afternoon =P~

Thanks all that came and battled with the elements with me , thanks Helen for the sausage + chips , the new flask and the cupcakes

Highlight for me [other than the previously mentioned close encounter with the Lanc] has to be the surprise flypast of the Sentry and 2 x Typhoons as we were leaving B-)

My attempt at photographing the aircraft will be posted on here, after they have uploaded to Flickr. There are one or two good ones

. Like I said, apologies to all for having to leave early

How long?

Looks good so far mate. Will have to finish watching it later

Edit: I just LOVE the bit from 51 minutes :ymapplause:

Bloody BRILLIANT :ymapplause:

@ Cluny
Very good video. Nice to see what I missed. Thank you.

by **Kermit** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 8:28 pm

Great vid Cluny, a very enjoable hour indeed, so many Tiffies enjoying themselves, and great footage of the BBMF ! :ymapplause:

edited to ask, have you quite recovered from being almost squashed up by such an illustrious aircraft ? :))

by **Cluny** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 8:34 pm

Nope

by **MOD** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 8:59 pm

Great as ever Clunes. :ymapplause:

Great day. Plenty of Typhoon and Tornado activity, about two hours of displays and fly-pasts by the BBMF, sociable company, sausage + chips delivered by Cluny and paid for by XPL, and Helen shared out her very nice cupcakes!!! Even a passenger flight for added variety just before I had to leave...

Alex, JM

@ XPL: more than makes up for Brize!!! =))

by **Hihonyr8811** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:45 pm

Well here's mine, although if I'm honest there really isn't much point you watching it =))

They all passed btw $\:D/$ :ymapplause:

$\:D/$

by **Xplumberlives** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:17 am

Nice one Helen, not sure how you manage to work several cameras at the same time! :-o

Thank you for the cupcake pudding! :ymapplause:
