Gregg if anyone truly deserves a trip in a Bucc then it is Oilcan.. Olicat ;)

He probably couldn't get into the cockpit though!!! His grin would be too wide. :p

Fingers crossed for you Oli....

Whether or not I go depends on how the weather is on Tuesday (possibly going to Brize) and how the weather is on the actual day...

If its good on the day and bad on Tuesday, I might make an appearance!

I may be visiting a Russian Destroyer in Portsmouth that day, but it is unlikely you will see my beautiful face at Brunty on Sunday... maybe later on in the year I will be there tho

Great Day!

I didn't get my ride in 900, aircraft went u/s, there is integration between the general services and the flying control hydraulic systems (Or something like that) it's a 3 day job to sort. Always next time though ;)

It was nice to see some old friends! Naddy, Mr. & Mrs. Checkflaps and Dave (Code Monkey) to name but a few.

I didn't get any photos, I was busy all day, but there are some good ones knocking about.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us!

Not exactly Kwik Fit, but they did manage to get the aircraft back to the pan for about 7.30pm :ymapplause:

Good day, and surprisingly good weather for Brunty.

Next main event is the Lightning Twilight run, Nov 10th. I can taste the mince pies already. Mmmmm.

Still on the camera - I'll have a look later, unless my better half gets time today (unlikely as she has el monstre to deal with)

Edit - Here they are (well, some of them)
