Thank You, Ian!

Today's FUN just shines through in
your photographs!

Every one of them!

[Mayfly]

Poor old Martin looks like he's had a hard day!!

[Dan4th]

I'll wager she's cleaner and shinier than when
she was in service!

And thanks, Matt, for that lovely Packard Merlin
Mustang!

Haven't watched Cluny's vid yet, but I'm sure
it's good for more than just a couple of views.....

Danf.

EDIT::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Well, I just watched Cluny's vid, and I'm afraid I
don't have enough superlatives.

Thank you, Paul, and thank you to all the ones
who keep her so nice!

GOD! On that fast taxi, she WANTED to FLY!!!!!!!!!

Wait until I get the narratives added then it will begin to make sense....

I finally hit the sack at 2am this morning after getting up at 5.30am yesterday. It was a long hot day of doing very little on the Wellesbourne airfield. You know - these events just happen all by themselves.

[RLN]

There are so many photos of W&W on different threads, I don't know where to post my gratitude - so I'll do it here. Thanks everybody, it looked a great day and I'm sorry I had to work. I'm still not jealous; no sir...............not even a little bit.

[Wedgy]

The absence of some was apparent to me - wasn't quite the same without you all (you know who you are)

Quality video as ever Cluny

[Hydealfred]

I was stood right next to you all on the crowdline during the first taxi run.

[Mayfly]

and did you introduce yourself?

[Hydealfred]

Alas no, as I didn't at the time know who they were. It is only from seeing the shots on the Forum today that I recognise them.

What he said

Loving all the pics, going to watch Pauls Vid in a bit when mums finished down the garden as she wants to watch too

Would have loved to have been there, I even bought a pair of ear defenders for the occasion

[Hungry Haggis]

great vid as always .I see you all had a briliant day then.
did a kid ask about 18.40 "is the sptfire in the middle".Sure sounded like it

Something I posted vexes thee Snapper?

That certainly wasn't my intention. The first I was surprised at the amount of birds on an airfield and the second I thought was a brilliant moment captured in time at could be read a thousand different ways and by the way I do know how much work and effort goes into a run day from all concerned and am very grateful

[Bovril]

Pam we so missed you and DT, as RHV says we really hope to get you both down, and get DT behind the controls again. Thanks to all who came, we really appreciate it, thanks to the crew as always. and thanks to all the volunteers that make the day.

[Mayfly]

Thanks Roger. I haven't as yet mentioned it DT he is busy with Waddington and was in at work yesterday. But I see no reason why not

Pleased it all went well. Is she still serviceable?

[Dan4th]

Bovril, I think it was Mighty Brave of you
to duct tape yourself to 655's underside
for that video!

Just Amazing and Exciting and.............

"WOW!" doesn't even come close!

Danf.

[Jigsaw]

As usual, a joy to view. Cheers Ian

[Xplumberlives]

Another great little video, thanks for posting it Bovril!
