I thought the CAA Test Pilot chappie (Paul MacKay? - can never remember his name!) was joining the crew this year? Was he unavailable, or pulling the test pilot exemption routine?! ;) Or will he not be flying this year?

Thanks,

Ha ha ha! Well done you, I like it here actually.

Ah, yes The Elms, I spend to much time in there (I was probably in there when that picture was taken) Good food, good beer and one very nice waitress.
