we plan to leave for the mushrooming grounds in about 1 hour, :D


maybe earlier as next door may be making lots of hammering and banging noises AGAIN X(

EDIT........ going in the next few minutes as the inconsiderate neighbours have started making loads of noise, I would not mind ,but they never give us any notice about the work going on X( X(

Here I am back from RHA,and boy it was great to see 558 in the air again.......... \:D/

I have made new friends from other aviation forums, :D who told me that equipment was arriving at RHA over the weekend, why did the trust not think it would be nice to tell us where 558 was going, X( even though I have been saying for months that she needs to go to RHA \:D/

How come other site knew and we did not :((


Pictures to follow later when I get them downloaded................. :) :D ;)

Much as I'd love to help out with fuel costs, reality is that it is hard enough to fill the car up, never mind a Vulcan.
if it's working, leave well alone

I do like the idea of these new initiatives some thing a bit different but unfortunately not the best timing in the present financial climate.
