LLA DAY

Postby Mayfly » Sun Sep 26, 2010 3:15 pm

Unfortunately the weather really clamped down & BBMF didn't fly, just taxiied the Lanc & couple of the fighters so they didn't make HFH at Coventry either :( First time I can remember them not getting airborne on LLA DAY.

Only got a couple of ground shots not worth uploading them - good to catch up with some old mates tho' :)

Yeah not worried for myself I can pop over to see them any time but a shame for those who have to travel to see them :(
