I was at Bournemouth this afternoon patiently awaiting their arrival.............. :!! It was lucky I decided to sit in the official viewing area, as one of the airport staff who spends the day scaring off birds kindly came up to the fence to tell us they wouldn't be here today. All the other areas around the airport were still buzzing with people as I left :))

According to him they are due to arrive tomorrow (friday) at around 3pm, so fingers crossed they'll be back in action soon :YMPRAY:

We're they airborne at all today MF?

The Reds finally made a public display today! They made it to Swanage like clockwork as always. I couldn't be bothered to sit in traffic jams for hours to get there so I stayed at Bournemouth to get more pics & some freebies for the little man. Pics later :D
