Good news - the sooner they can get the airshow bookings firmed up, the quicker they can get at least deposits paid to them: all good for cashflow! :D

Woo hoo \:D/
That is really good news :D I cannot wait, now all I need to do is book a ticket :D


I wonder if there is anyway east Kirkby could book her for their august air show.
Although saying that, from a totally selfish POV, there are only 2000 tickets avalible for that so maybe it's best if 558 isn't booked ;) :)) coz I havn't booked my EK tickets yet :))

Good news to see the first display confirmed. All we need now is the winter servicing to go ok, the CAA ok, test flights and crew currency.

Great, I'm taking mr Mrs to Waddo to bore her silly. I told her that she just MUST expereince a Vulcan take off and feel the power so I'm dragging her along.

Willl we be graced by the presence of the Lgendary DT on the ground at Waddo, and, more to the point, can we expect him watching the display and shaking his head and tutting at the handling of his baby? ;)
