A COLD day at BRUNTINGTHORPE

Postby Xplumberlives » Sun Nov 28, 2010 1:51 pm

Having viewed the photographs already posted, I will try to take a slightly different perspective on the L.P.G. Twilight Run!

The road to Bruntingthorpe early on Saturday morning!

904 at 09:21 waiting for her public!

728 without engines awaiting the mass of engine work which will hopefully lead to TWO fully serviceable Lightning’s for next Mays C.W.J. Day!

Andy disappearing in to look for any loose articles.

In his element here.

Returning to the outside.

A Vauxhall Monaro playing on the snowy track.

Buccaneer No1.

Buccaneer No2.

Towing 904 out.

Image

Engines running.
Image

Airbrakes open.
Image

Hot hot hot!
Image
Image

A quick taxi around.
Image

At rest and parked near the Shed.
Image

I managed to catch Dennis’ eye and thank him for a great show.
Image

All quiet now.
Image

Time to put her to bed.

Back in the Shed with Stiggy in the cockpit and Andy showing him around.

I forgot to mention that having completed the Friday night shift and changing out of my uniform, I went to the local transport Caff and had a FULL ENglish Breakfast.

I then got on the road to Bruntingthorpe.

Upon arrival I sent a weather text to Gaz and on to Andy, took a few shots and then got down to some sleep in the car!

Woken by Gaz at lunchtime with a steaming cup of tea!

Thanks mate that was BLOODY MARVELLOUS!!!! :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Great shots from a great day. Brought my dad with me this time who also loved it, thanks to all at the L.P.G. for their dedication, but I'm afraid to say that the stars of the show had to be................ my thermals!
