Before I forget I have been getting real grief of everyone for my cheating photos of the engine rear turbine.
Del, John, Sam, Ray, Brownie, Mouse have a yellow suit for me and a challenge for next weekend to take the photo as requested. :((

Challenge accepted B-)


Maybe I shouldn't ask this but .....any other requests ?
