Martyn, the grass is FINE FOR PARKING, it will just be BLOODY AWFUL for DRIVING AWAY FROM! :p

I can't make it this year, either. Got to attend a birthday party in Norfolk. More important apparently. X(

But I don't mind in the slightest, since it's my wife's granddad's 100th birthday. There's just no contest! :D Don't think anyone on either side of the family has lived that long before.

Can only repeat what Kermit said. Great day, and an impressive, but short by necessity, display by the Mk. XIX Spit of the BBMF. And a 30ft flyby and landing by the Beech D18. Thanks to all the volunteers, and I hope your head is better now, Gaz. :D

I'm COMPLETELY zombified now! Can't see me lasting too much longer, tonight!

Thanks to everyone that wandered over, we had a good day!
