I've never seen an Andover before, and you must know by now I have a soft spot for twin engined props :D


I do have to confess I knew about theTornado lol, but we thought it had gone as a Tornado took off as we were coming from Woodhall, but it turned out to be a 41sqn bird not the Germans B-)

"The flight level you've assigned us must be the only strip in the whole of Lincolnshire with cloud" (or soemthing similar).
