Thoroughly enjoyable day as ever. A bit disappointed with my photos to be honest, but still...I've been before and I'll go again.

'Tina looks stunning...question for Gaz though: Are there any plans to replace the various stencilled notices, and the 'fuel pumps'?

And another question...I was surprised the LPG ran '904 - I thought she needed an engine replaced. Presume this has now been done? Unless I've missed it, Andy doesn't seem to update as often these days.

Had a look in Tina's cockpit! Highlight of the day, that!

By the way, if anyone found a stylus off a Nokia 5800, it's mine... =))

I hope so! but, I wouldn't bet on it now. There's a queue for the Hangar (Which the Guppy is as the front of!) and I don't think that Tina will be going back in.

=)) =)) Memory like a sieve =)) Plus there's a chunk of time in the middle that I had lunch and missed a couple of things :D

Thanks Paul.
JP, that's the one I missed.


I have the car as a porsche boxster, I assume that was the one they used?

Oh don't start that again :p =))

Helen - you've missed out the second race of the day - mine and Paul's caps having a race towards the trees during the second victor run - I think mine won as it went much further, P aul's didn't quite make the top of the bank

The race between the Porker and the yellow biplane thingy was 2 legs - up the runway, and then back down. I think the yellow biplane thing won both ways. Probably wrong though. :D
