Bring him along, he'll love it! :D

You could even bring the DVD you promised me! ;)

He has his own famiky in Ely now so doubt he would be bothered mate.

I thought I had explained about the DVD. I will, by all means bring it along but doubt it would be much good now. When I found it, it was in a terrible state (scratches etc) that's why I did not send it to you before. I will attempt to play it (put it off because it p'd me off).

Anyway. I will check the rota tomorrow and attempt to change it if need be.

Always a good day out - looking forward to it. Bringing my Mum and Dad along and it will be Jessica's first CWJ day (okay, so she was at last May's, just not born at the time). Gill will be keeping her well back from the noise! :D

It may have to be moved back A LITTLE, just because the main runway will be in use for fly ins/outs, not much though, maybe 5 or 10 yards
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

Now, if only you knew somebody inside who can get you in early and allow you to exit out of the "Alternate" gateway :-?



What's the secret sign? ;)
