Awwwww and there was me thinking that the Guppy played some sort of secret part and those props were a disguise :))

Heya,

Checkflaps and I are delighted to be able to attend this event! (that sounded almost royal...who do I think I am, eh? LOL)

Haven't been to Brunty in what seems like ages so really looking forward to giving my wellies and raincoat an outing, and hearing the roar of the various engines. Hope to see lots of our friends there; the funny thing about this form of communication is that we can talk about everything and anything for years at a time but only actually say hi face to face, once in a while. I treasure those moments, and it helps the friendships stand the test of time.

Yayy for CWJ Open Days!

Who say's we WON'T have flying aircraft?!?

And I DON'T mean the Victor ;)

PS: I've been told that there is a 90% chance that the back seat of XX900 is mine for the fast run :D, just depends if the pilot brings a friend or not :)

You lucky (insert rude word here) Gaz.
I shall have my fingers crossed that it is 100% in your favour on the day mate and the pilot has no friends (doubtful eh) ;)

22,000 llbs of static thrust will be than capable of shifting Mr Lander's shrinking bulk. Be nice to me folks and the back seat could be yours one day :D

Aaaand unfortunately Gaz has been kidnapped...


On a side note, anyone know of a plastic surgeon who can make a 14 year old look convincingly like Gaz? :ymdevil:
