[Thumper]

Cluny is a SUN god now though, it was really sunny at Cranfield last time!!

I can vouch for that, I'm blaming him for my sun burn today

[Mayfly]

Hmmmm wonder what he's been doing to redeem himself!!

XS458 delveloped a technical problem in April, resulting in the May event having to be cancelled while maintenance was carried out. Russell Carpenter and his team have rectified the problem, and hopefully the aircraft will run as normal on 26 June.

We (Cluny & myself) both knew it broke last time and never ran in May but oh no, someone wished to state otherwise, now I believe that has been busted

[Xplumberlives]

Might just nip down and join the FREELOADERS!

Poor excuse...........

[Mayfly]

Good video Cluny - was the pilot Denis Brookes do you know?

[Cluny]

I would of thought so , he is the usual pilot

[Thumper]

Pilot is always Dennis Brooks, got his name on the plane now too

Sorry I didn't make it Cluny and XPL but I spent £120 on food shopping and if I am not here that would have been an expensive waste! Typically the %*£"^$(^("$^"( didn't turn up till 3:30 at which point I thought everything would have finished

I guess I'll be seeing you in a few weeks at RIAT though Cluny as I am there for Friday arrivals and practise, I'll buy you an Ice Cream/Hot Chocolate (weather dependant, delete as applicable) to make up for missing today.

Great video, I notice there was NO-ONE in the usual photography spot near the runway

So go on then, did Russell come after you with his big MOUTH and demand money from you tight opportunists?

[Cluny]

You need to ask Xpl , i wasn't there at the time

[Xplumberlives]

Here is my take on the day!












And finally - Blizzard the Watcher taking more of his FREELOADING video!

[Thumper]

I see it's not firing on both again!

Great photo's XPL, some very crisp shots indeed
