Thanks guys from the LPG fantastic talking to you as always, and thanks for putting me right on the fact none of you are ex RAF/ex Lightning it does make your achievements more incredible. :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Nice to see some old faces and new ones and great to see SM in person, who is not as short as some make out ;) , hope you all had safe journeys home. Mind you if my car was not so nippy I think I would still be traveling along the A46, it is amazing how many cars you can overtake on a roundabout :D

What a brilliant day :D :D :D

Just got home (after stopping for a swift half first).

It was really great to meet everyone and many thanks to Andy and the LPG guys for their efforts (the shed is looking great) and another thanks to Gaz, etc for the Guppy tour and opening up Canopus for us :D

Really great to see you all today, and the weather was very 'un' Bruntingthorpe

Once again many thanks for joining us and more importantly supporting us, to the tune of £300 ;)

Thankyou from all of us in the LPG

See you all at the end of May

Keep smilin :)

Really great day for us. Got to meet some new people and catch up with some old folk. We also did well for donations (Those who did, PM me for how you'd like to be remembered on our website), we've raised enough for at least one can of every colour required for the livery, so thank you! Thanks also to the LPG for letting us piggyback on their day.

Some pics:

And poor little scaredy Helen (If it makes you feel better, I DID have the guilt!!):

It all got a bit too exciting:

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks Andy (I still want one)& LPG, Gaz and all at CWJ for letting us wander round at will. It was a great day, and even the weather smiled on us. Nice to see everyone again and some new faces. Only pics from my phone, for what they're worth.

First chance I've had to post since Saturday, so a belated thanks to Andy (and for the idiot's guide to the cockpit) - a good day and nice to meet people. If I have any different pictures, I'll post later.
