Is that a rhetorical question? If not I'm sure someone can oblige with an answer.

Just noticed we haven't updated you on who is going.

XM655MaPS will only be there on Sunday, and will be represented by Ramshornvortex, Bovril and me.

We've just received our new batch of mugs (thanks to some hard work by Bovril) so come along to our stand and be amongst the first to own one of these superb collectors items. :p
Sooty

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

We decided to book the stand for Sunday only, in case we were delayed with No 4 engine and needed the Saturday at Wellesbourne. As it turns out, we could have done both days, but there is always plenty to do on 655, so there is no point in changing the plan now.

Shame we won't see you, but June isn't far away now. :D

The new mug has all the squadron badges on, so we are hoping to appeal to a wide audience. ;)

VTTSC has loaded up the trailer and will be there for the weekend. I know Jane & Malcolm Thomas will be there, possibly aided and abetted by Lee Broadbent and Fiona Thomson.
